Overview

Four erotic tales from in various historical eras. The first, 'The Tide', is set in the present day, and concerns a student and his young female cousin stranded on the beach by the tide, secluded from prying eyes. 'Therese Philosophe' is set in the nineteenth century, and concerns a girl being locked in her bedroom, where she contemplates the erotic potential of the objects contained within it. 'Erzsebet Bathory' is a portrait of the sixteenth-century countess who allegedly bathed in the blood of virgins, while 'Lucrezia Borgia' concerns an incestuous fifteenth-century orgy involving Lucrezia, her brother, and her father the Pope.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A provocative anthology that treats explicit desire across centuries with a kind of detached curiosity, alternating between intimate confinement and historical depravity. The film's cool formalism keeps its transgressive content at an intellectual distance rather than prurient.
