Since she has had a brain tumor (which was successfully removed years
ago, thank you), sister Gertrud (Anita Ekberg), a nun working in a
geriatric clynic, isn't the same any more, she is one one hand addicted to
morphine - which she has persuaded her young lesbian roommate
sister Mathilde (Paola Morra) to steal for her from the infirmery -, she
suddenly turns rude, even violent towards the patients - which actually
seems to have killed one of them -, she schemes against the clynic's
doctor-in-chief (Massimo Serato) - and successfully too -, she sometimes
goes to town, changes her habit for something more elegant and tries to
pick up men for a quick shag - also successfully -, at one time she even
starts having sex with (Submissive Sister Mathilde, and she suffers from
depressions and hallucinations.
After a time, murders start to happen, and everything seems to be
pointing to her, especially after Peter (Lou Castel), the only patient who
had the nerve to directly accuse her, is killed to by the killer -
whoever-it-is, 'cause by now all the evidence is pointing so much into
Sister Gertrud's direction that one can almost be sure that it wasn't her.
The new doctor-in-chief Patrick (Joe Dallesandro) takes up investigations
of his own though, and soon comes to the conclusion that sister Gertrud must
be the killer ... not that she can deny it, because by now she is totally
out of it, and is going to spend the rest of her life under sedation since
the Mother Superior (Alida Valli) wants the whole thing hushed up, and
what better way than to keep the tailor-made suspect in a state of trance
?
However, if everyone wouldn't be so busy in hiding things, they could
listen to Gertrud starting to remember ... starting to remember how she
caught her roommate Mathilde at one of the killings red-handed ...
Nice serial killer thriller (or giallo, if you may) which more
than most other films of its ilk crosses the thin line between elegant art
and utter sleaze to and fro: The images of the film are incredibly
stylish, with some of Sister Gertrud's dream-sequences being nothing short
of inspired. But at the same time, the film never shies away from putting
in a nude or a sex scene just for the sake of nudity ... And even if the
story is not all that great, and the killer can be spotted early on in the
film, that doesn't keep the film from working in its own weird world.
Just watch it !
