A Nunsploitation.Net review
As sleazy as Euro-cult exploitation films can be, they are all put to shame by their Japanese counterparts. Joe D'Amato and Jess Franco look like amateurs in the face of Masaru Konuma, Japan's "master of sensual cinema."
Runa's Confession is no exception. This film is 10% story and 90% sex. Five minutes don't go by without an explosive sex scene that lasts almost as long as a sex scene would in hardcore porn films.
Runa becomes a nun, but, as she says later in the movie "in finding God, I also found the devil." The devil being, in this case, an absolute psychopath priest who chases the nuns around the convent grounds and violently rapes them every single day. This priest is a bona fide lunatic escaped from an asylum for the criminally insane. He hounds Runa fucking her while she tolls the bell, while she's milking the cows, whenever and wherever he can. He rips her robes open and slaps her into submission while raping her.
During her time in hell, Runa has been plotting the perfect revenge against her sister and sex-crazed ex-boyfriend Kage. She offers the two a real estate deal that they can't refuse so they can take the money and get married. After all, Runa forgives them and only wants them to make each other happy.... yeah, right.
However, Runa has been counting on this. She arranges for the men to meet and then one of Kage's girlfriends reveals to them that Runa's sister has been playing them for fools. Runa gets her revenge when the men arrange a meeting with her sister and then proceed to gang rape her.
Runa herself throws herself at Kage. "I'd gladly betray God for you!" she offers as she strips out of her robes. The sex scene is gratuitous, long and torrid. Runa never takes her habit off through the entire length of the scene. She is naked except for her veil while Kage goes to town. Again, this would make an incredible X-rated film.
The movie has a twist ending that I won't reveal, but Runa does get her sweet, sweet revenge on Kage, her sister and the lecherous priest.
I should probably take the film to task for its unrealistic portrayal of women and sex. Runa's sister gets raped repeatedly throughout the film and actually appears to enjoy it. In one scene, Kage wants a bigger cut of the profits. He convinces her to give it to him by, how else? By raping her! After Runa's sister is gang-raped, she simply comes home "tired" rather than severely traumatized.
While not my favorite Japanese nunsploitation film (that honor still belongs to School of the Holy Beast, Runa's Confession is still fantastic. The story is twisted and convoluted and the sex scenes are non-stop.
There may be too much sex for some viewers. Other viewers may get frustrated by the fact that the film comes very, very close to pornographic without going hardcore. It's a matter of individual taste, but if you're looking for a nunsploitation film that truly pushes the envelope, Runa's Confession may be just the film for you!
