A film of repression and obsession. A nun longing to explore another woman. This experimental film by Su Friedrich takes an interminable length of time to set up the final act.
We are watching nuns hanging murals, making beds, planting roses, walking around, visiting Coney Island, saying the rosary, embroidering, and pacing in their room. Pictures that are nothing special, and similar to what a visitor to Vatican City might capture on their video camera. It is all in black and white, and contains irritating camera jumps.
While we are watching this, one woman is reading from Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy, while another is reminiscing about different nuns in her childhood.
Most viewers would have tuned out anytime during this build up and they would have missed the one minute where the nun achieves her desire. A most disappointingly brief time to compensate for the long wait.
