flavia the heritic (1974)

aka Flavia, la monaca musulmana. Flavia the Rebel Nun. Flavia, Priestess of Violence. Flavia: Heretic Priestess. The Heretic. The Muslim Nun. The Rebel Nun. "Why is God mad?"
Flavia (Florinda Bolkan), a young nun, questions the scriptures and rules that bind her as a woman and a bride of Christ, and seeing the pain and suffering inflicted on women by men, she rebels when a Muslim army storms the convent, and joins them to exact revenge.
A well made exploitation, with vibrant cinematography, that throws in some feminist critique alongside its condemnation of the Catholic church.
