Directed by Domenico Paolella, The Nun and the Devil AKA Le Monache di Sant’Arcangelo is a tale of seduction and persecution detailing the sinful practices which spill out of a 16th century convent. When the psychotically ambitious Sister Julia (Anna Heywood) vies to take the place of a dying Mother Superior by any means possible, other inmates start to lose their way, indulging in hetero flings and lesbian coupling. But things take a nasty turn when the nuns are subjected to a violent inquisition and their existence becomes one of maltreatment and degradation. (88 Films)
