Benedetta (2021)

Paul Verhoeven is the shocking director who is known for depicting graphic female nudity on screen, but we know from his iconic movies like Showgirls and Starship Troopers that he isn't afraid to throw a little male nudity our way either! Sadly, this is not the case for his nunsploitation movie Benedetta. But we do get something. But it's not what you expect. Just keep reading okay! This 17th-century lesbian romp brings to life the real story of Benedetta Carlini - an Italian nun who had a fiery sexual relationship with a woman in her convent, and claimed to see real visions of Jesus and experience stigmata. In Verhoeven's world she's a sex-crazed nun (played by Virginie Efira) who has the hots for a woman taken in by the convent, played by Daphne Patakia. The two women do about everything together that two women can do together. They have tons of lesbian sex snd even fashion a dildo out of a Virgin Mary statue. We expect nothing less from Paul Verhoeven! His exploration of Catholocism, eroticism, and carnal female lust is a hit with critics, but not so much with us. That's because the cute actor Jonathan Couzinié doesn't show off the goods! In one of her divine visions, Benedetta sees Jesus on the cross and approaches him to take off his clothes. But what she finds is a crotchless Jesus. That's because Couzinié has his penis and balls tucked behind his legs. Hey, what the women get up to in Benedetta is NUNya business!
