The leads turn in admirable performances, respectively, as a pornography-writing nun and a pornographer with amnesia. But it is Elina Löwensohn, who plays a porn star on the run, who steals most of the scenes. It's classic Hartley with absurd themes and snappy dialogue, but the plot and drama never convince. Rating: B
