Behind Convent Walls (1978)

Behind Convent Walls is Walerian Borowczyk's provocative arthouse cult classic. It's set inside a scandal-ridden Italian nunnery. Repression and desire collide within its stone corridors. That collision gives the film its lasting reputation for taboo-breaking eroticism. Olivia Pascal and Marina Pierro lead the cast. Each embodies the forbidden urges that unravel convent life from within. The archive carries a single nude scene clip from the film. It is a brief cut, but it captures the daring spirit that made this title a touchstone of European exploitation cinema. For fans tracking Borowczyk's boundary-pushing style, this one clip still delivers a potent taste of it.
