Sacred Flesh
In the midst of life we are in death.
Directed by Nigel Wingrove
Produced by Heretic Films
A dark, surreal exploration of religious transgression and demonic possession that blurs the line between spiritual vision and psychological unraveling within a convent setting.
Taunted by visions of Mary Magdalene, who reveals the confessions of the younger nuns at the convent, the Mother Superior's mind is filled with the violent, sexual acts of her fellow sisters.
