Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun Blu-ray

Delirium Home Video will bring to Blu-ray Jess Franco's Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun (1977), starring Susan Hemingway, William Berger, and Herbert Fux. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on April 28.

Description: Maverick exploitation film director Jess Franco and Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich's notorious "nunsploitation" classic LOVE LETTERS OF A PORTUGUESE NUN comes to Blu-ray for the very first time in North America, totally uncut and remastered in HD from the original camera negative!

16-year-old Maria (the lovely Susan Hemingway) is taken by force into the dreaded Serra D'Aires convent, a sect secretly run by diabolical Satanists. Her confessor is in collusion with the Mother Superior (Ana Zanatti) and the not so pious pair almost immediately subject Maria to unspeakable tortures, forcing her into sex with men, women, and even the Devil himself. Gaslit into believing this supernatural debauchery is all a dream, she writes a letter to God begging for salvation, but the powers that be have other hideous plans in store for her...

Shocking, salacious, and also stunningly shot and expertly performed by an international cast, LOVE LETTERS OF A PORTUGUESE NUN is among the best blasphemous European horror films of the 1970s and a high mark in Franco and Dietrich's respective oeuvres.
