Our take

Three European auteurs adapt an Edgar Allan Poe story in this celebrated portmanteau film from ‘68, with stars including Delon, Bardot, Peter Fonda & Terence Stamp! Fellini’s Tobey Dammit is a highlight, in which a movie star gets lost in Rome’s labyrinth of paparazzi, alcohol, and megalomania.
