Rescued from certain death at the executioner's hand by a wealthy couple, Therese (Alice Arno) is persuaded to tell them her story of depravity as she struggles to maintain her virtue in a world of sin. Her kindly trusting nature continually gets her into trouble as her experiences range from being abused by her boss while working as a maid, to being attacked by travellers she saves from danger. She quickly learns that a spell in a monastery is no sanctuary, and she soon finds herself in the possession of a sadistic nobleman. Branded and beaten, she will ultimately discover her true identity... ...Justine de Sade ( Deadly Sanctuary ) ( Justine )

This review is from: Justine de Sade ( Deadly Sanctuary ) ( Justine ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

Note that this version has been cut by 20 minutes (the full-length version is also available here on Amazon), i.e. there is no reason at all to be interested in this version unless, for reasons that can be known only to yourself, you have the truly wierd desire to see a Jess Franco movie with the squelchy bits cut out.
