The main content of the film is that it took place in the 17th century. Father Urban Grandi (Bain Granr), who was deeply personal in liberalism, contradicted the authority of Cardinal Duke Richelieu, which led to the Duke and the church beginning to conspire on how to use nuns to be "demon" Possession was used as an excuse to frame the priest, which ultimately led to tragedy. Although there are many bold and shocking aspects of this film, it does not prevent it from becoming a unique and landmark film in the UK. Oliver Reed as Father Grundy and Vanessa Redgrave as the Abbess are both superb, and the set design by Derek Jarman is even more memorable. Screenwriter Aldous Huxley provided the material for director Ken Russell's sparkling masterpiece. This film describes how in the 17th century, a nun had a secret love for the bishop. This emotion spread in the monastery. The nuns in the entire monastery were naked to greet the bishop.

This film clearly depicts "" and the collusion between church and state. The film was banned by the British Classification Board and Warner Pictures. Warner Pictures It is still declared that the film is strongly unsuitable for public screening.
