Those looking for a Fulci horror film are looking in the wrong place with this one.
Factual movie about an Italian Noblewoman named Beatrice Cenci who conspires with her lover and her family to kill he very abusive father.
This act of murder causes an uproar with the Catholic church. Seems the Catholics are ok with sexual abuse but not killing the person who did it, and that is exactly the statement Fulci makes here.
Beatrice and all involved are tortured and eventually killed by the church for these so called crimes they committed. There are some pretty disturbing things in this film and they will stick with you.
Adrienne Larussa makes for a beautiful Beatrice and Tomas Milian is just as good as her lover. The print from Sinister is a beautiful widescreen presentation.
If you have never seen this film, I recommend you do. It's beautiful in it's camerawork and spot on in it's representation of the Catholic Church. It;s AKA Conspiracy Of Torture, but no matter what the name, it's an interesting little film.
