The opening scene where Cristiana (Toti Achilli) is making love to her boyfriend Luca (Gerardo Rossi) on an airplane is pretty wild. Characters entering the “Mile High Club” in movies isn’t exactly something new. However, most characters opt for the privacy of the lavatory. Here, Cristiana and her man plow away openly in their seats while the other passengers root them on. One guy even times them! Incredible.
But wait, it gets better. After their roll in the hay, the plane experiences turbulence and goes into a nosedive. Cristiana grabs the nearest nun she can find and vows to give up her sinning ways and enter a convent if God will save the plane. Wouldn’t you just know it? That’s exactly what happens.
True to her word, Cristiana heads off to a convent. It doesn’t take long though for her to regret her decision, and soon she’s hooking up with a horny nun named Leonora (Satanik’s Magda Konopka). Eventually, Luca comes looking for Cristiana, but Sister Leonora manages to turn his head, which leads to heartbreak. Cristiana then flees the convent and plows headlong into a life of sin.
The title is sort of a misnomer because Cristiana really isn’t a “devil” nun, she’s more of a horny nun. Then again, the title was probably changed to cash in on the then-scandalous hit The Devils, which was also about horny nuns. Of the naughty nun scenes, one of my favorites was the part where Cristiana and her lover find a way to make love in the bell tower and keep the bells ringing while they’re knocking the boots. There are also some hardcore insert shots that help spice the sex scenes up.
Fans of Nunsploitation movies (like me) will be disappointed by the third act though. It’s here where things kind of run out of gas. While it still features a fair amount of sleaze, it just doesn’t have the same kick to it as the hour that preceded it. That’s mainly because Cristiana leaves the convent and heads off to be a sex worker like her mother. Again, there’s plenty of T & A during this stretch of the film. It’s just that it was a lot more fun when our heroine was in the habit, if you catch my drift. The overwrought theme song is good for a laugh though.
Incredibly enough, this was leading lady Toti Achilli’s only film role. (If IMDb is to be believed.) She is excellent and doesn’t miss an opportunity to bare all. She also has genuine chemistry with Konopka, who is quite good too. At least Achilli got to show her stuff in this flick, so because of that, we should count our blessings.
