Nigel Wingrove, 2000
This is PAL (UK/EUROPE format) Region 2 DVD
Torn between sexual desire, her vows of chastity
and her fears of eternal damnation, a medieval nun
struggles with her sanity. Bordering on madness, she seeks
solace in the savage words of sexual denial that are spoken
to her by a disturbing "Death Nun" vision. Her sanity is
further threatened by the imagined figure of Magdalen, who
challenges her concepts of sex as an evil, malignant force.
In between these discussions the nun's mind is filled with
brooding, violent sexual fantasies that push her into a
world of blackness, blood and orgasmic self destruction.
Sacred Flesh has continued to provoke controversy since
its original theatrical release in 2000 and has regularly featured
in the press and in TV documentaries where the clips of
lesbian whippings and crucified orgies still shock.
