When she challanges the priest's authority - the order of society; its government, religion, and sexual relations are all thrown into turmoil."One of the year's ten best!"-Film Comment"Poetically sexy."-Variety

This B & W film was different. I liked that. Ultimately, however, I felt it didn't quite deliver on it's story telling intrigue. Watch this film because it teaches as well as entertains, if, a little slowly.
