Shûdôjo Runa no kokuhaku (1976). 1h 14m

“Granted, I had never actually heard about this 1976 Japanese nunsploitation movie titled u0026quot;Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhakuu0026quot; (aka Cloistered Nun: Runau0026#39;s Confessionu0026quot;) before stumbling upon it here in 2023. And I must admit that I had zero expectations to the movie, as it didnu0026#39;t really seem like a genre of movies that would be all that interesting to me. But still, since I hadnu0026#39;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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWriter Toshio Ashizawa didnu0026#39;t exactly deliver anything close to rocket science here with the script for this movie. And truth be told, I wasnu0026#39;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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting performances in u0026quot;Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhakuu0026quot; werenu0026#39;t impressive. But then again, the actresses and actors in the movie didnu0026#39;t really have all that much to work with in terms of script, dialogue and characters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNeedless to say that I am not attempting to watch the rest of Masaru Konumau0026#39;s u0026quot;Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhakuu0026quot;, simply because I didnu0026#39;t find anything entertaining here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Shûdôjo Runa No Kokuhakuu0026quot; lands on a two out of ten stars.”
