Il Diavolo in Corpo (1986)
Member Rating:  
Bearing no particular relation to any literary or cinematic work of the same title, this erotic drama by Marco Bellocchio uses sexual expression to work out a character's hang-ups, problems, and personality. Andrea (Federico Ptizalis) is in his last year of high school when he meets Giulia (Maruschka Detmers). Her father was killed by terrorists, yet Giulia is engaged to marry a former terrorist who is released from prison after he names names. After Andrea and Giulia meet, they have some torrid sexual encounters, though Giulia continues her engagement to the ex-terrorist because her wealthy family opposes any liaison with the lower-class Andrea. Mixed in with Giulia's two love affairs are several odd characters, such as the former terrorist's mother. No one is particularly stable, least of all Giulia. This film was released in the United States in both R and X-rated versions, the latter featuring a brief but explicit oral sex scene. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    This is the unrated version, even though it's listed as rated R.

    Strange plot. Disconnected characters. Love international films - hated this one. Try "Notes on A Scandal". Same idea, just done 100 times better!

    It is an interesting Italian film for erotic film lovers. However, there seems to to lack of artistic value and plot is dense.
