"Came in like a demon, and vanished like an angel." This is not how I planned to wrap up Nunvember. I had a classic film selected, one that had been previously reviewed by bigger names than I, and I was ready to buckle down and

Title: Sacred Flesh Year: 2000 Starring: Sally Tremaine, Eileen Daly, Kristina Bill Director: Nigel Wingrove Synopsis: Taunted by visions of Mary Magdalene, who reveals the confessions of the younger nuns at the convent, the Mother Superior’s mind is filled with the violent, sexual acts of her fellow sisters. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: The other Nigel Wingrove nunsploitation film. "Sexual purity is the apex of my spirituality." Currently, in my non-erotica-consumed life I am rewatching the show Community, because if there is a God, he abandoned us all and I need something that makes me laugh. I just watched the Christmas Musical episode in which Annie Edison (Allison Brie) dresses sexy and turns dumb. Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) points out, and I quote "look, eventually you hit the point of diminishing returns on sexiness." Well, if that doesn't perfectly describe Sacred Flesh. Mother Superior (Played by Sally Tremaine) is haunted by t

Meanwhile, Sister Charlotte needs to take on more responsibility in her convent. With the help of a recently transferred novitiate, Tina, she wants to make sure that Mother Superior's lovely way of living stays as it is for a long time.

Title: Benedetta Year: 2021 Starring: Virginie Efira, Daphne Patakia Director: Paul Verhoeven Synopsis: In the late 17th century, with plague ravaging the land, Benedetta Carlini joins the convent in Pescia, Tuscany, as a novice. Capable from an early age of performing miracles, Benedetta’s impact on life in the community is immediate and momentous. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Based on the true story of Abbess Benedetta Carlini "A pure soul requires a pure body" This movie... This movie has been, for me, for over a year, forbidden fruit. Between the pandemic and my being in Canada, and just general timing, things never lined up and I was unable to see this film until it came to streaming and rental. Much like the nuns in the town of Pescia who were also under threat of a plague, I waited, cloistered in my home for the moment where I too would be able to sample the divine sights of Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta. At the tender age of eight, Benedetta Carlin

As we leave spooky, sinful season behind us, we jump into piety. We wish to absolve ourselves of the filth we saw and sampled during our Halloween parties and atone, worship, and beg big Cloud Daddy to forgive us, or punish us if He sees fit to do so. That’s right. Get out your rosary and crucifixes. It’s time once again for... NUNVEMBER! Last Nunvember we began with a smooth transition between Halloween and November with a short film called Possession which we absolutely loved. It was sweet, and brief, and contained a lot of writhing. As great as it was, my one complaint was t
