Director: Gianfranco Mingozzi

Summary: Witness the most notoriously graphic and nasty descent into the nunsploitation genre with Gianfranco Mingozzi's unforgettable masterpiece of shock cinema that is Flavia The Heretic.<BR><BR><BR>Set during 15th Century Italy when brutality was wielded mercilessly in the name of God, young Flavia (Florinda Bolkan) is imprisoned in a monastery by her tyrannical father. Rather than the years of quiet contemplation she might expect, the sexually frustrated Flavia instead gets a crash course in hell on earth as rape, torture, castration, bondage and worse becomes her world but that is nothing compared to what will become of her!<BR><BR><BR>Beautifully filmed by Alfio Contini (THE NIGHT PORTER) and boasting a score by Oscar-winning composer Nicola Piovani this disturbingly cruel exploration of religiously condoned sexual violence is as well made as it is sadistic on the senses.
