| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the movie The Nun and The Torturer (1983), directed by Ozualdo R. Candeias, which approaches the abuses imposed on a religious woman during the hardest years of the Brazilian military dictatorship, at the same time exploring the sexual encounters between other imprisoned side characters. Since the movie was censored by the Public Diversion Censorship Division (DCDP) in the final years of the dictatorship, its censoring process is also unraveled in this article, which exposes the connections and mismatches between moral and political censorships in the period of transition to democracy. |
