Lust Bottled, Breaks the Bottle
Because Christianity is a religion impossible to practice, it was inevitable it became the principal author of White hypocrisies and the religiosity that makes atheists and agnostics feel entirely justified.
Here, cockless and love-starved White women are confined to a convent despite having no real religious faith. Many are consigned to the nunnery by parents who wish to offload their unmarried offspring and persuade them to take the necessary vows before understanding what unhappiness these will produce.
A classic White male sex-fantasy of a concentration of horny virgin girls - dying for cock - who are only too eager to open their legs for any male able and willing to service them; while also enjoying Sapphic and masturbatorial pleasures. Men enter the convent via secret passages; they climb the walls; the delivery man gets his end away; and, they pretend to be servants of God (religious tutors) - all to get their hands on, and their pricks in, lustful young female flesh.
By deliberately denying themselves a full human life, White Christians become obsessed with the pleasures they pretend to deny themselves. They claim this is what God wants - either via the enthusiastically-manipulated dildo that allegedly falls from Heaven or the belief that fornication is a sin.
Such self-hating confusions lead to the anger attendant upon a life half-lived and the dictatorial desire to try to ensure everyone else is also just as unhappy and for the same reasons. But the audience can see quite clearly that all these girls need is a good seeing-to and they will be as right as rain: The essential moral of this story.
Director Borowczyk’s style is appropriately fetishistic and surrealist - with streak of double-entendre humor a la the Carry On team. He sees sex in Boccaccian terms as a pleasure in its own right - unlike the Roman Catholics he successfully lampoons here. As in the movie The Devils, the suppression of sexual feelings leads to psychological death; explaining the common White conflation of Eros with Thanatos that Borowczyk frequently critiques.
Only the inevitable birth of a child - from all that frantic shagging - offers any hope for love-starved Christians.
