Very disappointing...

Very best movie i ever watch

Really Surprised!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Nigel Wingrove's less than spectacular try on the nunsploitation genre is quite ridiculous a film indeed, on every level. A Mother Superior is suffering from an extreme form of horniness-induced delirium brought about by her reading the carnal confessions of her fellow sisters, who invariably are silicone pumped sex fiends prone to succumbing to the callings of their young flesh. She descends into a hallucinatory limbo where Mary Magdalene herself encourages her to stop the mortification of her flesh and instead save her sanity by giving in to her innate sexual frenzy. Whipping, masturbation, lesbianism and group sex follow, as they should.This film sucks, but in a good way. Acting is terrible, costumes laughable and the soft-core sex scenes tame, poorly performed and devoid of any illusion of feeling whatsoever. I've always imagined the real sex life of nuns to be much dirtier, perverse and more demented. That's not to say the time spent on this flick was wasted. In a right state of mind, with the right company, watching this piece of garbage can be an exquisite pleasure.Recommended for true connoisseurs of the poopier side of cinema.

Sacred Flesh concerns the order of the Nuns of the Sacred Heart where the Mother Superior (Sally Tremaine) is having visions & conversation's with Mary Magdalene (Kristina Bill) a talking skeleton called Catechism (Rachel Taggart) & a gal named Repression (Eileen Daly), most of these conversation's & visions involve sex. The Reverend Mother calls in Father Henry (Simon Hill) to, well I don't know actually. The Mother Superior carries on having more visions & conversations involving sex & that's it basically.This English production was written (Ha! On the back of a postage stamp!) & directed by Nigel Wingrove & is total pure complete & utter crap from start to finish, you know there are some films which are rubbish but try & I feel sort of bad writing a negative comment for them but then there are films like Sacred Flesh which I take personal pride & great satisfaction in trashing like the piece of garbage that it is! As you may already have gathered I don't like Sacred Flesh at all, it has no story, it's probably the most boring 75 minute film I've ever seen & it fails on just about every level. I suppose it's trying to say something relevant about the Church & it's attitudes towards sex but it's so badly written & thought out that the themes & ideas it raises go absolutely nowhere. The character's are awful, the dialogue is awful & the sex scenes are awful. A lot of the running time is devoted to Nuns groping themselves & each other, there isn't any actual sex scenes between a man & woman in the film & it's as soft as you can get, there are naked bodies aplenty but no real action at all, damned this film is crap!Director Wingrove was obviously working on a low budget so he tries to give the film a stylish look which fails completely, this is meant to be a period piece as people are still travelling around the country on horseback & that period look coupled with the flashy editing & lighting just makes the whole thing look a complete total & utter mess. God damned this film is crap. Again it's worth mentioning that Sacred Flesh is as soft a porn film as you can imagine, I don't understand why anyone would want to watch this rubbish instead of a proper hardcore porno that would be cheaper & easier to find as well as a lot more satisfying. You'll have a hard time jerking off to this crap unless semi naked Nuns do it for you.Technically the film is basic, the period setting looks cheap as does the whole rubbishy thing. The acting is terrible & the girls aren't even that good looking either.Sacred Flesh is terrible & It's been my pleasure to say as much. Just hire a proper porno out, get some tissues & have fun which is very unlikely if you decide to watch this. This is awful & it's as simple & straight forward as that.

What we have here is a film designed to shock. Anyone who goes about making a film about the repressed sexuality of nuns realises and no doubt encourages the fact that some will be shocked by this. In my opinion this film makers tangle with this has left nothing but a laughable piece of amateur soft porn hoping to fool people into thinking it has deep, important themes by topping and tailing the sex scenes with terribly written and awfully acted discussions about the morality of sex and sexual repression. 'The Devils' walked the line between exploitation and art but due to the superb performances and clinical direction managed to avoid desending into voyerism, something this film can not claim.I am sad to see that some people commenting have actually been taken in by the "moral arguments" that run through the film. All I see is a very weak device to allow a group of soft porn scenes to run their course. The rapid editing and camera movement does little to disguise them for what they are either.The acting is terrible. I got the impression that the actors either had no clue what they were saying and therefore lacked any sort realism or were trying their hardest to remember the reams of dogmatic nonsense they spewed - which had much the same affect.One hilarious element are the performers in the scenes of "sexual gratification". Most appear to have breast implants, full make up including lipstick, eye make up and nail varnish, and some even have pierced tongues, belly button rings and tattoos not to mention their incredibly neatly trimmed pubic hair. I'm no expert but I doubt that these things would have been common place in most Convents. This does not add up to a high level of realism and is just another example of the fact the film-maker's intentions were as far from high art or art house as you can get.Avoid this film, if God exists he'll help you resist.

I saw this in London. There were five people in the audience. I think the intent was to make an arty euro porn film, but it looks like it was shot on beta and suffered from dropout and poor colouring. The story goes nowhere, just a tempted mother superior and various nun couplings. I really made the effort to see this one after enjoying the far superior RAZERBLADE SMILE, but Eileen Daly is truly wasted in this mess. Pity.
