The Nun

Rivette and cinematographer Alain Levent masterfully visualize her journey as a series of static, psychologically charged tableaux.

Pauline Etienne is easily the best thing in director Guillaume Nicloux’s adaptation of Denis Diderot’s 1796 novel, 'La Religieuse'...

Though Etienne and Huppert are fantastic, Guillaume Nicloux’s adaptation of Denis Diderot’s novel is neither nunsploitation nor chamber piece, just about working as a sermon on hypocrisy.

As accessible as the film is (Rivette and Karina both found themselves at the height of their commercial careers), THE NUN still managed to be banned in France.
