About

You can watch The Nun (1967) for free on Kanopy.

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.

A young woman finds herself trapped within a convent where three different mothers exert conflicting, often violent, forms of control. This intense study of religious confinement pits maternal warmth against sadistic cruelty and forbidden desire.
