Synopsis
Amidst the wild beauty of an island owned by a wealthy marquis, Elena’s arrival marks the beginning of a passionate love affair. Complicity and transgression, sex and power intertwine in a film loosely inspired by events in Italy in the 1960s, in which erotic desire gradually devolves into obsession.
COMMENTARY
Filippo Timi and Jasmine Trinca bring these two characters to life with such abandon and such participation as to make us forget they belong to another age and even project them into the present. A rich, bored, baroque world, built on voyeurism and evoked by Andrea De Sica with a clear sense of melodrama, laced with noir eroticism and explicit references from Kubrick to Hitchcock.
