In this exploitative portrayal of life in an Italian cloister, Mother Superior runs into problems trying to keep the hormonally-challenged nuns and their vows of chastity in check. A delicious attack on catholic hypocrisy with equal doses of lunacy and poetry, gorgeously lensed by Luciano Tovoli (“Suspiria”).
