Sisterhood is powerful. Before leaving for a mission in Africa, Runa, a nun, visits her sister three years after entering the convent when her sister stole Runa's boyfriend. Runa comes to forgive and to help her sister make enough money buying and selling some convent property so she can marry. The old boyfriend has new women in his life, but he and the sister tell Runa they're a couple in order to keep the property deal. To make even more money, Runa's sister wheedles large gifts from various men she's stringing along. There are flashbacks to Runa's sexual awakening at the convent. But what are her real reasons to close this deal?

Cloistered Nun: Runa's Confession Audience Reviews

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
lazarillo I've sometimes wondered why a country like Japan, in which maybe 1 percent of the population is Catholic, would have gotten involved in the notorious "nunsploitation" genre when many countries with much larger Catholic populations (like the US) have not. This movie does give you some insight on the appeal of "nunsploitation" for the Japanese. Only two scenes actually show life inside the convent--the opening scene where the heroine "Runa" is being sexually assaulted by the (non-Japanese) priest while she rings (and rings and rings. . .) the convent bell, and a flashback scene where as a novice she is assaulted for the first time by the same priest. Most of the movie, however, is about "Runa" returning to her hometown. She had apparently entered the convent after her slutty sister had stolen her boyfriend. She has apparently forgiven them though and has come to offer them a chance to buy and re-sell some convent land so they can afford to get married. Unbeknownst to her, they are no longer a couple (although the boyfriend does sexually assault the sister on a pool table for old times sake), but the greedy pair are willing to work together to get their hands on the valuable land.Your enjoyment of this movie will no doubt depend on how much you are able to get around the typically cavalier Japanese attitude towards rape. Japanese films treat rape in the titillating and rather non-serious manner that Hollywood films treat murder. The slutty sister, for instance, gets the money to buy the land by promising to marry a half a dozen rich guys (and giving each a print of an intimate part of her anatomy). When they find out about her deception, they lure her to a warehouse to take their revenge.But in this movie even gang rape seems to be only a minor inconvenience for the woman involved, and they actually seem to enjoy individual rape, especially if it involves a bi-sexual three-way and a shotgun. . .All in all, this a typical Japanese "pink" film. It's VERY politically incorrect, but much better made than any kind of American porn product. There's plenty of softcore sex scenes and the plot generally holds together pretty well. The acting is fairly competent, even if the characters are all completely ridiculous and the whole thing is virtually impossible to take seriously. This certainly isn't for everybody, but the people who would want to watch it know who they are.
Scarecrow-88 Blasphemous, raunchy smut from director Masaru Konuma features some truly insane rape sequences. Still it's an obvious revenge film allowing an emotionally damaged young woman to get back at those who have wronged her. A nun(Luna Takamura)returns to see her sister and former lover. Runa, the nun, offers them a chance to buy some prime real estate from her rector. But, this seemingly prosperous opportunity, proposed by Runa as an act of kindness to her sis and ex-boyfriend may not appear to be what it seems.A perverse Anti-Catholic nunsploitation pink film that displays the joy of sex in various ways. Runa is molested twice by her Priest! Once, while ringing the church's bell, her priest anally molesting her from behind and then a more unpleasant forced rape in the mud of a farm. Soon Runa's having lesbian sex with her fellow sister nun! These incidents are memories Runa relives while visiting her sister in Tokyo. In order for the plan to go successfully, Runa's sister and ex-boyfriend have to raise capital before the rector enters Tokyo. Meanwhile, Runa enjoys her small time in Tokyo, telling her sister that her mission plans to spread the word in Africa.Masaru Konuma has to adopt creative methods in shooting soft-core sex sequences, using particular objects and various camera techniques to avoid explicit content shown on screen. The emphasis is on the passionate expressions on the faces of those engaged in their sordid activities. There's a lengthly sex sequence between Runa's sister and ex-boyfriend on top of a pool table. Runa's sister swindles several suitors using her feminine wiles and "vagina calligraphy", properly skilled in the art of manipulation. But, she's soon discovered and becomes a victim of a gang rape. Perhaps the most notorious scene has Runa stripping her nun uniform for her ex-boyfriend offering her body to him wearing nothing but her head dress! Certain to offend those of the faith, this is a film geared towards those who have had fantasies of ravaging lovely young women in nun regalia. What the rector says to Runa as he savagely rapes her near barn animals is quite shocking(..as her sister nun looks on with a look of pleasure!). As you have read, this is not for the easily offended or deeply religious Catholics/Christians. Director Masaru Konuma makes sure to include Christian iconography during various moments throughout, mainly during the more depraved behavioral acts.
christopher-underwood Well directed and beautifully photographed, the slightly bumpy editing is the only fault I can find in this super little gem of a pink film. The credit sequence comprises still shots of the countryside including the nunnery and two consecutive shots are so similar that it gives the impression someone has bumped the camera, a most unfortunate edit and there are others but hey, there are more interesting things to describe. This is not my first Japanese nunsploitation and although this is probably my favourite, the nation certainly has a way with them. They certainly appreciate the potency of the religious paraphernalia, sex in front of an alter, crucifix bouncing on bared chest and such like but also seem to have no hang ups at all with regard to what is depicted. Obviously this is not a religion many in Japan feel too much about and there may be added potency here by laying waste to the 'foreigner's religion'. Certainly the rape of Runa in ripped habit by her American speaking rector seems to be highly symbolic. Only the first scenes are in the religious establishment but there are flashbacks to illustrate what Runa describes as finding God, and also the devil. I found this bright and bold sex and violence fun all the way through. I liked the story development and the humour. This has great style and panache and the ending had me grinning from ear to ear and barely able to resist pressing 'play' once more.
fertilecelluloid Another Nikkatsu pink film from Masaru Konuma, the director of "Wife To Be Sacrificed". Technically an addition to the Nunsploitation genre, it is a strange bird that doesn't quite fly. The opening ten minutes really raise expectations. After a nun climbs to the top of a tower to ring a church bell, a lecherous priest attacks her from behind and penetrates her brutally while the bell continues to ring. A minute later, another nun is chased across farmland and raped in mud and manure beside a cattle shed. These erotic, potent sequences establish a tone that the film, unfortunately, never returns to. The central story involves Runa (Luna Takamura), a nun who travels to the big city to offer her half sister a generous deal for some farmland owned by the church. The sister, a conniving slut, is juggling a half dozen fiancés while plotting to steal the farmland from Runa and retire with her sleazy boyfriend. When her ruse is discovered, she is gangbanged by her betrayed fiancés and left penniless. Runa's fate is less predictable, and makes for a novel, hot conclusion. Although the erotic episodes are effective, the film gets bogged down by unnecessary detail and needless plot complications that reduce its primary appeal. Luna Takamura, who plays Runa, is a problem, too, because she's not an overly sensual lady (a little masculine, in my opinion). Definitely worth catching, but not one of Konuma's best.
