This is, superficially at least, one of Jess Franco’s ‘classiest’ pictures, with a thoughtful script, sober camerawork, hordes of extras in period dress, and a suitably 18th century inflected score. Underneath the trappings, however, it’s as perverse and twisted as ever. … Like Jack the Ripper, Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun shows what Franco is capable of when he’s given some decent money and the chance to take a little time on a project.
