Another disc for my collection of your fave and mine Walerian Borowczyk! Is it Arthouse? Is it Nunsploitation? Is it soft porn? A little of all of the above to be honest.

Behind Convent Walls is the first Borowczyk I ever saw, not that I'd have been aware of the director's name back then in the early 80s when some Art School friends and I were drawn into the cinema by the allure of the "Sexy Nun" on the poster (as seen here). We were callow youths and I was not yet the refined, virtuous Cinephile you know today. We knew that these "foreign" films held the promise of mucky stuff and perhaps even the possibility of seeing some naked ladies ("It's called The Tit and the Moon! There's gotta be at least one title in it!") With Behind Convent Walls Mr Borowczyk did not disappoint.

I've rewatched the film a couple of times in recent years via "the internet" and it always seemed oddly edited and the picture quality was disappointing so I'm very intrigued to see how Arrow's transfer looks (2k restoration from the original camera negative), however I won't get a chance to watch it before Sunday, as God intended.
