Man i caught this on Monsters HD this weekend, and damn.that was a pretty damn disturbing rape scene during that flashback. the scene is great, as far as the asthetic that it was shot in, but the fury with which the raping takes place and the agony of it all is pretty damn jaw dropping. unwatchable again.

Sometimes the greatest of the director is seen in how disturbing he can make the disturbing. And I know nothing that is more disturbing than a rape scene. Whether it is in a film or in real life.
John Boorman does it in "Deliverance." Wes Craven does it in "Last House on the Left." Alfred Hitchcock does it in "Frenzy." And Ken Russell does it in "Lair of the White Worm."
I might also add, that what Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) does to the boy scout (Chris Pitt), when he is in the tub, is pretty disturing for most males, as well. -

BoyScout, I understand you on the 'tub scene'.
I found the flashback to be sickening too and whenever I watch this film, I just skip that part.

What, that scene? That was a great and shocking scene, full of blasphemy and debauchery. But it barely even triggered in my mind as a "rape" scene. Rape was just part of the whole tableaux of delicious wrongness that was going on in that scene. It wasn't like Irreversible or anything.

Yeah, I find it rather laughable to be honest.
I mean, I know that the scene is supposed to be horrible, and rape is horrible, but the way it's depicted is downright pathetic. Nun's being raped 'embrace' their rapists apparently.
