Synopsis

In the long tradition of nuns gone wild narratives, of which Diderot's THE NUN is a prime example, comes Polish director Walerian Borowczyk's BEHIND CONVENT WALLS. Based loosely on the novel PROMENADES DANS ROME by Stendhal, the film is an erotic fleshfest that embraces in every man's fantasy about the secret world and desires of nuns. Cloistered from the outside world and brimming with libidinous urges, these "pious" women turn to orgiastic experimentation that includes sapphic coupling and masturbation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Typical 70's Cringe, 16 Sep 2007
By Antyllus (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I saw this film once in 1978 on an afternoon, when I had nothing better to do, in the old Odeon on Leicester Square (London). It is now as dated as the decor in the theater was then. Horrible stuff at the time to watch - even worse now.

Heaven knows what happened to some minds in the 70's. Music that never suited the film it accompanied, scripts that were concocted in the deepest recess of the lost mind and sexual fantasies run amok. Inspired by the Marquis de Sade's tales and fake diaries of fake nuns (who were male) this film is utter trite and deserves to be met with derision.

If it weren't so grotesque it could be an insult to nuns the world over.
