Sacred Flesh

2000 · 75 min

A slow, dreamlike descent into repressed desire and religious hysteria, more mood than story.

Tagline: In the midst of life we are in death.
Overview: Taunted by visions of Mary Magdalene, who reveals the confessions of the younger nuns at the convent, the Mother Superior's mind is filled with the violent, sexual acts of her fellow sisters.
How it feels: Dark, eerie, melancholic and campy. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Faith, sexuality, obsession, guilt
Content: Strong violence and sexual content. Mild gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
