An incredible achievement of 70s pop art and searing anti-religious sentiment. Genuinely shocking, erotic and artistic. I never knew torture porn could be so beautiful before I saw a nun elegantly strung up and brutally whipped with bunches of thorny roses! Norifumi Suzuki is the most underrated auteur of all time.

An 18 year old girl enters a convent in Japan and discovers the (not entirely unexpected) sins of adultery, gluttony, homosexuality etc running rampant, but also that the convent is harboring a dark secret from the past. Lots of memorable images in this flick, including some unique punishments and a horribly scarred priest. The scene with the nun being whipped by bunches of thorny roses was incredible, petals falling in slow motion on her bloodied breasts as crazed nuns flail away at her.

the novelty / shock factor passes quickly and then it's just campy B-movie laying it on thick
