Dreadfully Boring

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Nunsploitation film from Japan of some infamy.Thieves break into the home of newlyweds. They beat the husband and rape the woman. The man can no longer stand his wife and he turns her out. About to jump into the ocean she is stopped by a priest who sends her to a convent where all sorts of nasty things happen. She eventually escapes dressed as a sheep (don't ask) with a gangster who turned up. As with most of these sort of films the proceedings are way way over the top. The events border on the silly and are ultimately for a small audience. The problem is that the whole point of the film is the weirdness and little else. There is no plot and other than seeing what new twist they've come up with there is nothing to see. I think that the attempt at a normal movie keeps the films passion from ever going anywhere since the structure of the film-making process keeps everything distant and makes one think that perhaps there is a reason for all of the depravity (yea right). It was for me a waste of 70 minutes (well less because of scan). Watching films like this I often ponder why I bother since while they are often well made, they are much too over the top to ever be take seriously. I mean how can you be shocked when you're laughing to hard?

Nunsploitation would seem to be more of a European thing, but the Japanese decided to have a go too, and Wet and Rope is one of the results. Asian cinema is often remarked upon for its bizarreness, and after having seen this film; I've got to say that isn't surprising...in the least! Quite what the hell the point of this film is, is anyone's guess, as all the sleazy elements on display don't mean a thing to one another, thus making the film merely a collection of oddities, united one very thin plot line. The story (if you can even call it that) follows a young woman who tries to commit suicide after being thrown out by her husband. After being saved by a priest, she is recruited into his convent...where all the nuns are more pervy than your average whore! The film features a lot of sex, some of it featuring things like masks, bread rolls and (wait for it) sheep costumes! I actually can't believe there was a time when I found lesbian sex out of the ordinary...it's the norm in films like these! It really is hard to take this film seriously, but it's not a complete dead loss as watching the events unfold is often very funny, and fans of wayward cinema are likely to get a kick out of it. Overall, I can't say that this is a favourite of mine...but it's just about worth seeing.

Rarely ever laughed as much or as loud than with "Wet Rope Confession"; a nunsploitation movie coming from Japan, a country where hardly even live Catholic people to begin with! This film simply needs to be seen in order to be believed, as it is cheap, totally incoherent and featuring the most absurd situations imaginable! The movie opens very interesting, though, with classy images of a nurse and doctor on their wedding day. When the girl gets raped by burglars on the same day, the husband banishes her from his life. Saving her from committing suicide by a narrow margin, a seemly helpful priest convinces the girl to enter a convent as a nun, where God will surely forgive her sins. The ordinary nuns fill their days with lesbian games, an occasional whipping or escape into town to go go disco-dancing (truly an hilarious sight) but the real perverts are the priest and abbess who rent out their nuns as sex-toys to rich business men. "Wet Rope Confession" never really gets shocking or sadistic and even the most uncut version doesn't feature that much nudity. It's just funny and trashy because the nuns dress up like sheep and are forced to walk in hurdles etc... This film is entertaining mainly because of its ineptness! For example, near the end of the story, the woman comes face to face again with the rapist who destroyed her life and you expect some sort of revenge, only...it doesn't happen!

After being brutally raped,Mikki attempts to commit suicide.A friendly priest talks her out of it and she decides to become a nun.Once inside the convent,she becomes again a victim of sexual abuse."Wet and Rope" by Koyu Ohara is a truly fantastic piece of sleaze.It's not as beautiful and visually stunning as Norifumi Suzuki's exploitation classic "School of the Holy Beast",but certainly offers everything a nunsploitation fan could want-beautiful and often nude women,a perverse priest,a nunnery full of lesbians and wickedly deviant finale.The acting is pretty good and the main actress Yuki Nokihara has a great body and beautiful eyes.A must-see for fans of nunsploitation sub-genre or exploitation cinema in general.8 out of 10.Highly recommended.
