1980 • Italy • Directed by Bruno Mattei

For their first fateful collaboration, director Bruno Mattei and writer Claudio Fragasso took the oft-filmed story of 17th century heiress turned sinful sister Marianna De Leyva and transformed its themes of religious and political hypocrisy into a celebration of desecration that remains one of the most bizarre, extreme and blatantly blasphemous films in the genre.
