The controversial
Euro-cult classic finally comes to DVD in this exciting re-mastered uncensored
edition.
Florinda Bolkan stars as
Flavia, a woman forced to live the life of a nun by her demanding father. After
witnessing injustices and questioning her own faith, she flees the convent in
search of a better life. Her taste of freedom beyond the confined of the convent
walls is cut short and she is soon recaptured, tortured and whipped for her
defiance of the church. Befriending Sister Agatha, who shares her hatred of men,
Flavia plots a rebellion. A bloody, violent confrontation ensues as she leads
Muslim warriors to attack, rape and murder her friends in the convent. >From a
confused nun questioning her faith, to a violent dominating leader, Flavia’s
taste of absolute power comes at a dear price.
Call FLAVIA THE HERETIC
what you will… a bold statement on feminism and female independence or a just
one of the goriest exploitation films ever made. Synapse Films, in conjunction

the nudity, violence, torture and over-the-top gore effects have been restored

classic! With a beautiful music score from Academy Award ® winning composer,
Nicola Piovani, FLAVIA THE HERETIC is ‘nunsploitation’ at its finest
and a must-have for any fans of 1970s Euro-sleaze!
