Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun
Die Liebesbriefe einer portugiesischen Nonne
16-year-old Maria is forced into Serra D'Aires convent, secretly run by Satanists.
Why it matters
A lurid blend of nunsploitation and satanic horror that pushes the boundaries of 1970s Eurotrash cinema into transgressive territory.
- A prime example of nunsploitation’s obsession with religious hypocrisy and erotic taboo, wrapped in a satanic cult fever dream.
- Director Jesús Franco’s signature mix of dreamlike atmosphere and sleazy decadence, where mood often trumps narrative coherence.
- Fans of Euro horror’s more transgressive corners will appreciate the raw, unpolished energy and lurid practical effects.
- Not for the faint of heart—or those expecting subtlety—but a cult curiosity that reveals much about genre exploitation’s willingness to shock and provoke.
