The Nun (1967)
La Religieuse
In eighteenth-century France, a girl is forced against her will to take vows as a nun. Three mothers superior treat her in radically different ways, ranging from maternal concern, to sadistic persecution, to lesbian desire.
🏳️🌈 Jacques Rivette's brilliant Diderot adaptation (La Religieuse) explicitly features a major sáfic thread, tracking a young nun forced into a convent where a mother superior (Delphine Seyrig) develops a passionate lesbian obsession with her.
