In the year following his masterpiece giallo The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh (1971), Director Sergio Martino returned to the
genre with this sordid tale of the Italian aristocracy gone wrong.
“Of course, you'd much rather be drinking from my skull.”
Kick-starting under the oil-painted gaze of the recently deceased matriarch of
the Rouvigny family, Martino introduces us to the excesses of the Italian
aristocracy, housed within a crumbling and hollow mansion. As free-loving
guests from a nearby commune enjoy the free booze, and a grope of slave/servant
Brenda, the bitter marriage of Oliviero (Luigi Pistilli, The Good The Bad
& The Ugly) and Irina (Anita Strindberg, Who Saw Her Die) is laid bare to all without a care in Oliviero's mind.
