MOTHER JOAN OF THE ANGELS
JERZY KAWALEROWICZ Poland, 1961
Cut from the same scandalous cloth as Ken Russell’s The Devils, Jerzy Kawalerowicz’s nunsploitation masterpiece swings between the ascetic and the profane. Violence and eroticism ooze through the eerie black-and-white cinematography, as prayers tremble under the hypnotic grip of demonic thoughts.
