Synopsis

In an Italian town, a young woman attends confession. She reveals to the priest various fantasies involving greed, lust, and temptation. The priest undergoes a crisis of faith after her confession ignites desires he can’t ignore, sharing in her sin through a forbidden act.

Our take

Playing irreverently with the religious iconography of Italy, Nicolas Winding Refn comes tantalizingly close to sacrilege in this erotically charged short. Created for motorcycle brand MV Agusta and premiering at the Venice Film Festival, this striking advert surrenders to delicious temptation.
