Plot:	Flavia is forced to live in a convent but runs away after witnessing some funky stuff. Her freedom is soon cut short as she is captured and tortured for her defiance. She soon plots a revolt, leading her warriors to rape and murder her fellow conventeers.
Overview:	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. 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!
