God Forgives, Nuns Don't... (1999)
Adult • 1h 29m
This crummy Dutch shot-in-Finland porn video NOVICES is a still-born entry in the popular Nunsploitation genre is of interest only to an audience that clamors to be grossed out.Version I watched has the entire storyline in voice-over narration read in German, purportedly reported by blonde Estonian porn magnate Kristina. It's merely an excuse to string together various sex scenes, some standard issue porn and others emphasizing kinkiness. Sum total is boring. Her actual participation is unclear, since she runs a "modeling agency" that provided the untalented female performers in the cast but I couldn't place her amongst them.I had to merge two entries in IMDb, one of which only mentions Kristina's modeling agency and not the actress herself, so it is possible the video was altered.Biggest surprise is guest starring role for U.S. porn actress Lynn LeMay, who was popular in the '80s and just like the aging glamour Hollywood stars of old who ended up doing Gothic Horror movies, she became hard-up enough in her career to descend to this barrel-bottom level.Lynn is cast as Mother Superior Magdalena, but her tattoos, same old hairdo and grotesquely enlarged latter-day breasts clearly don't fit the role (they might have passed muster had she kept her habit on, but this is not that kind of feature). LeMay gets down and dirty in an extended lesbian sex scene with young blonde Vivian, similarly stacked but natural-looking. Lynn slaps the girl around and inserts a strange device in her vagina that results in a many yards-long string of beads being pulled out - the kink factor. I was underwhelmed, and would much rather be watching Lynn perform in a real video feature with normal sized breasts from her U.S. heyday.There are various groupings of other cast members, particularly a guy named Steve who has sex with many young girls and a svelte blonde named Fiona who would seem normal in a different context. Besides bondage there is an emphasis on using candles for penetration, a brief self-fisting scene plus a vague attempt to conjure up the "sex is bad" atmosphere that permeated the work of the king of this sort of trash, NY director Phil Prince in the early '80s.Many of the models are big-breasted so this junker would fit into that classification as well as its intended Euro Kink slot. Either way it is sloppily directed and apart from Lynn's lesbian scene emotionally remote. I guess if full-time porno stars can have a "secret sex tape" like celebs do nowadays, then this would be the one in Lynn's closet.
