Flavia the Heretic
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 confines 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 or just  one of the goriest exploitation films ever made.  Synapse Films is proud to present  FLAVIA THE HERETIC in its complete, uncut uncensored English language version for  the first time in the U.S. FLAVIA THE HERETIC is "nunsploitation" at its finest and a  must-have for any fans of 1970s Euro-sleaze!
