Immoral Tales
Immoral Tales presents a provocative anthology diverging sharply from typical period romance or erotic dramas by juxtaposing explicitly sensual narratives across distinct historical settings – a contemporary beach encounter, a 19th-century philosopher’s private reflections, the infamous Countess Bathory’s alleged horrors, and an incestuous orgy within the Borgia family. Each segment explores the subtle and not-so-subtle manifestations of desire and power, eschewing conventional morality for a direct, unflinching gaze into forbidden impulses. The film doesn’t build towards dramatic climaxes but cultivates a detached, observational tone, prioritizing atmospheric sensuality over narrative fulfillment, and turning historical infamy into grounds for intimate, sometimes disturbing, curiosity.
