User review:

A treatise on the difference between prank and sin…discipline and torture.

Apart from being beautifully filmed, it is almost entirely without a plot and has the most bizarre soundtrack running throughout…

The priests aren’t exactly evil…they are all pretty fucked-up and rather sinister. As for the pupils – vile little things.

This is Lord of the Flies without the build-up – it just lurches towards the last chapter without reason…

Inconsistent, episodic and fruitless.
