Kawalerowicz’s sensually mounted, barely disguised polemic – in which pious members of the Catholic church (representing the idealistic communists) try to drive the devil (representing human nature) out of a convent full of possessed nuns – proves itself to be a beautifully photographed and excellently acted political allegory.
