Plot

A student and the fiancée of a terrorist.

Sinekatalog’s take

Marco Bellocchio's erotic drama follows a student's affair with the fiancée of a jailed terrorist. Maruschka Detmers is bold, and the explicit scenes caused a stir, but the film's psychology and politics are patchy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
