Thriller written and directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet. Alice (Anicée Alvina) and Nora (Olga Georges-Picot) experiment with bondage and creating human art together using various substances. But Alice becomes the chief suspect in a murder investigation when their flat is broken into and Nora is seemingly killed by the intruder with a pair of scissors while she is tied to the bed. Once questioned by the police, a judge and a priest, Alice is sent to a convent prison and interrogated on suspicion of being a witch. The judges may just be proved right as those inside the walls of the convent also begin to fall under the spell of Alice's charms.
Guillaume Nicloux directs this French-language adaptation of the novel by Denis Diderot. The film follows the fortunes of Suzanne (Pauline Etienne), the child of a wealthy family who is committed to a nunnery against her will. When informed by her mother Simonin (Martina Gedeck) that she is an illegitimate child, the reasons for her internment become clear to Suzanne: to ease the financial burden on her cash-strapped family and to alleviate her mother's feeling of having 'sinned' by giving birth to her. Suzanne's woes are multiplied by first-hand experience of the corruption and impiety of the church. Viciously abused by Supérieure Christine (Louise Bourgoin), Suzanne attempts to escape her plight through a series of letters begging authority figures to intervene and have her vows annulled. Will she manage to break free?
