The Little Nuns

About This Movie

So, 'The Little Nuns' is this quirky Italian comedy from 1963 directed by Luciano Salce. It has a light-hearted atmosphere that contrasts the somewhat serious undertone of two nuns advocating against those noisy jets disrupting their convent. You get a mix of slapstick and sharp dialogue, which makes the pacing feel brisk and engaging. The performances by the lead actresses are quite charming, capturing that blend of innocence and determination. It’s distinctive for how it tackles themes of faith and modernity, all while maintaining a comedic edge. The practical effects, especially the sound design in relation to the jets, contribute an interesting layer to the narrative. A bit of a gem in its own right.
