The Naughty Nun:: Nunphomania

Product Information

Although undoubtedly significant the prominence of the Catholic Church in Italian society is perhaps a less direct influence on the profusion of Nunspolitation films made in Italy in the 1970s than the economics of the exploitation film industry at that time. Popular Italian film genre’s such as the peplum, the giallo and the cannibal movies were crowded with as many imitators as innovators and the large number of Nunsploitation movies made in a relatively short period is consistent with this pattern. As previously noted producers were obviously keen to cash-in on the notoriety of Ken Russell’s The Devils so welcomed any controversy and it’s worth noting that these were many of the same filmmakers who were concurrently churning out a cycle of Nazi-themed sexploitation films so it’s doubtful that they were too concerned about who might take offence. Bimba, a sixteen year old daughter of a wealthy family, is starting to show disturbing signs of demonic possession. The naughty nun motif is about more than critiquing the power of the Church. Nuns devote themselves to a life of chastity, which does seem to invite eroticism (Photo: PaoloBis/ Getty Images) Two high-spirited young students at St. Francis Academy keep things hopping for the challenged Mother Superior and her staff of bewildered Sisters.

On the surface the women at the convent are your average nuns. However, what they get up to in their spare time is far from what you'd expect from nuns.

Nightclub hostess Sarah, 19, also from London, is last and she sees nothing wrong with spending up to 10 hours a day on her mobile phone. These low-brow jokes are a nice reminder that medieval society wasn’t just about prayer and plagues.” A young woman is forced into a convent. However, due to her nobility she rises to be an abbess. She has to deal with corruption in the church. A priest is sent to a small parish in the Polish countryside which is believed to be under demonic possession and there he finds his own temptations awaiting. Two notorious directors who are both well known for contributing significantly sleazy entries to almost all Italian exploitation movie sub-genres also helmed notable Nunsploitation movies: Joe D’Amato with Images In A Convent and ‘The Convent of Sinners and Bruno Mattei with ‘The Other Hell’ and ‘The True Story of the Nun of Monza’.

Revealed: The times when naughty nuns entertained their

A nude bishop chastises a pooping cleric in the Gorleston Psalter, c. 1310-1324. (British Library Royal MS 49622, f. 82r.) Collectors Weekly: Why did marginalia eventually disappear? The Book of Hours was an especially popular type of devotional text in the 14th and 15th centuries and was usually intended for the use of laypeople. It emerged from the tradition of the Psalter, which normally consisted of a book of Psalms plus other types of sacred material to aid the reader in prayer. Psalters and Books of Hours ranged from very modest examples to highly illustrated luxury objects. Of course, the latter are much more fun, and it is within these more expensively made tomes that we see some of the most memorable examples of marginalia. Some marginalia might have been tailored to the tastes of the patron, so it takes on this other level of meaning as well. Manning: A lot of ink has been spilled in pursuit of marginalia’s coded messages. From what I understand, pop-culture references were often literary or came from the oral tradition, anything that lent itself to a good image. Popular romances like Tristan and Isolde or the Holy Grail show up pretty regularly. I think more common is what might be termed “folk culture” in the form of riddles or pastimes, and most of these references would have depended on the region where the book was made. The scatology also needs contextualising like the elephants. In the early middle ages, bodily functions were not considered obscene (they returned to being so in the Renaissance, when secularism shifted swearing away from saints and iconography). Farting in particular was still considered acceptable as late as Johnson’s Dictionary, when other functions were ‘tastefully’ omitted. These images are rather like saying “monks are people too”, an understandable lament by a copist himself a monk, perhaps not even by his own choice (many younger sons having been parked in monasteries by their parents from a young age). In this sense some marginalia is likely doodling, tolerated as schoolboys doodling is tolerated (and sometimes wryly praised) in the margins of otherwise conscientious homework. Around this same time period, in the 13th and 14th centuries, bookmaking was increasingly in demand, so it started becoming a legitimate profession with artisans, workshops, and guilds. They tended to be concentrated in cities where much of the newer wealth was located. Multiple people worked on creating a book: There was the person who wrote out the text, who may or may not be different from the person who illustrated it, who may or may not be different from the person who illuminated it or painted it and added the gold foils and bound it. Monks were still producing books, but it was shifting to a job for artisans.

Sadly, for the romantics among us Mrs Goodrich debunks the lot. The famed “secret passage” leading from the old nunnery buildings in the direction of Worcester Cathedral is, she says, nothing more than a rather large drain. Japan too embraced the naughty nun and produced some of the most stylish of all Nunsploitation movies including such perverse delights as Nikkatsu studio’s ‘Sins of Sister Lucia’, ‘Cloistered Nun: Runa’s Confession’, ‘Sensual Sanctuary’ and Norifumi Suzuki’s jaw-dropping School of The Holy Beast. In the early 90s, Manchester’s cultural revolution was in full swing. “Everything was thriving,” remembers actor, writer and comedian John Thomson who grew up in Preston before studying drama at Manchester Polytechnic. Beyond the Haçienda, a comedy scene was growing in the city’s pub rooms where Thomson made friends with Wythenshawe local Caroline Aherne. “In Manchester at that time, there were a lot of funny people,” Thomson says. “Caroline was naturally funny.”

Isobel Studley turns up in the records when she was committed to Clementhorpe in 1315, but it seems she did not behave herself there either, because in 1331 she was found guilty of “sins of the flesh, apostasy and other excesses” and was sent away to a priory at Yedingham. Having renounced her former life of promiscuity, a nun's sexual and religious identity is challenged by a free-spirited new pupil at her convent and a fugitive killer. In 1983, financially struggling college student Samantha Hughes takes a strange babysitting job that coincides with a full lunar eclipse. She slowly realizes her clients harbor a terrifying secret, putting her life in mortal danger. Runa, visits her sister three years after entering the convent to forgive her and help her make money. To make more money, Runa's sister wheedles gifts from various men, and Runa's sexual initiation at the convent teaches her meekness. An old-line Mother Superior is challenged by a modern young nun when they take the girls of St. Francis Academy on a bus trip across the United States.

Maybe they’re not doodling, exactly. I do illuminations myself, and it can get so tedious! Sometimes I just need to refocus, take a break, and work on something less serious. Maybe marginalia runs along those same lines – taking a break from the task at hand. Two wild and crazy headless guys in the Summer volume of the Breviary of Renaud and Marguerite de Bar, Metz ca. 1302-1305. (Verdun, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 107, f. 99v.) Having contributed entries to almost every exploitation movie sub-genre it’s hardly surprising that workaholic Spaniard Jess Franco should also be responsible for Nunsploitation outings ‘The Demons’ and ‘Love Letters of A Portuguese Nun’. The latter story was re-told a couple of years later by The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue director Jorge Grau as simply ‘Love Letters of a Nun’.

See full summary» Thanks to Manchester-based Granada’s encouragement of local talent, Thomson and Aherne soon moved to TV with regional variety show What’s New? and sketch pilot The Dead Good Show. Then, later, game show Remote Control, and sketch shows The Full Monty and The Fast Show. The pair also performed at universities. There’d be “horrible dressing rooms, stinking of fags, bog seat on the floor”, says Thomson. But they allowed Aherne to indulge a surprising habit: “Caroline always used to carry a massive handbag. We’d be talking about the gig, then she’d go ‘Look at that’, and she’d robbed something! She’d take things like a hammer or a sign for the ladies: ‘I’ll have that to put on my toilet door.’”Rumiko is a misbehaving girl who got caught stealing the cash her father had at home for bribes.

Has anyone seen someone else’s doodling? Its bizarre! funny, but just bizarre in the way that marginalia seems to be…. The problems girls face in the unisex environment of a convent school are revealed in a series of vignettes. The community had split into warring factions, one led by the prioress and the other by the lately arrived Lady Isabella de Clinton, widowed, well connected and related to the priory’s founder. A group of youngsters go out to a disco on Christmas Eve and accidentally run into a shepherd who has prepared himself for a night of pure insanity.
