Cloistered Nun: Runa's Confession

Granted, I had never actually heard about this 1976 Japanese nunsploitation movie titled "Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhaku" (aka Cloistered Nun: Runa's Confession") before stumbling upon it here in 2023. And I must admit that I had zero expectations to the movie, as it didn't really seem like a genre of movies that would be all that interesting to me. But still, since I hadn't already seen the movie, of course I opted to give it the benefit of the doubt, and thus, I sat down to watch it.

Writer Toshio Ashizawa didn't exactly deliver anything close to rocket science here with the script for this movie. And truth be told, I wasn't even particularly entertained by the storyline. It just offered nothing worthwhile watching, aside from some semi-lewd scenes if you have a nun fetish.

The acting performances in "Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhaku" weren't impressive. But then again, the actresses and actors in the movie didn't really have all that much to work with in terms of script, dialogue and characters.

I gave up on the movie about 30 minutes into the ordeal. By then I just had enough of the pointless storyline as it trotted on and on. Director Masaru Konuma delivered a very boring and ridiculous movie. But I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as this. I just happened to not be a part of that particular target audience. And I am sure that the movie was a sensation back in 1976.

Needless to say that I am not attempting to watch the rest of Masaru Konuma's "Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhaku", simply because I didn't find anything entertaining here.

My rating of "Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhaku" lands on a two out of ten stars.
