The Nun
“The banned film by Jacques Rivette”
Drama
In eighteenth-century France, a girl is forced against her will to take vows as a nun. Three mothers superior treat her in radically different ways, ranging from maternal concern, to sadistic persecution, to lesbian desire.
VIBE
A suffocating, yet strangely sensual, descent into the confines of a convent. It's a deeply psychological and often disturbing exploration of faith, desire, and the crushing weight of societal expectations.
