Synopsis: Walerian Borowczyk's Behind Convent Walls destroys the myth of the convent being a place of serene reverence and abstinence as a Mother Superior desperately attempts, with little success, to prevent the nuns in her charge from sampling the sinful pleasures of the flesh.
Frustrated by their seclusion, the nuns turn to lesbianism, masturbation and sexual experimentation until the Church is called in to exact cruel and sadistic measures in order to end the outrageous behaviour. Not surprisingly, the tense conflict between the two parties in such a highly charged, erotic atmosphere leads to a dark and explosively dramatic climax.
Loosely based on Stendhal's Promenades dans Rome, Behind Convent Walls takes the viewer on an erotic journey through an amazing repertoire of sexual behaviour; a journey that questions the very natures of morality and eroticism. As is always the case with Borowczyk, the film is stylishly shot and filled with astonishing images that will both shock and entrance.
Review by Tenebrous Kate: This movie brims with sex and all natures of couplings are explored. There's an effort to make the sex in this film look real and erotic without verging onto the territory of plastickey pornography or a fetish fulfillment checklist. Read More....
Review by Chris Blackford: When the Mother Superior is poisoned, hysteria breaks out. As the body count rises so farce becomes tragedy, but as so often happens in this film the transition is perhaps too jarring to be effectively poignant. There's a tragic undercurrent here, manifest in the young nuns' desperate defiance of an emotionally crippling regime where privacy is non-existent, yet it's frequently obscured by clumsy farce.
