Our take

Silvano Agosti’s controversial debut is a biting critique of the Catholic church, the institution of marriage, and the hypocrisy of Italian society. Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s famous painting, and notoriously censored by the Vatican, the film boasts a scintillating score by maestro Morricone!
