Devil in the Flesh

About This Movie

Devil in the Flesh has this raw, gritty vibe that captures the tumult of youth and longing. The story follows a high school student who becomes captivated by a woman, her life tangled with political unrest thanks to her jailed fiancée. It explores themes of obsession and the complexities of love amidst chaos. Pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build, especially in those moments when she struggles against her own desires. The performances are a bit uneven but enhance that sense of realism, making you feel like you’re peeking into their world. It's not just a love story; it’s layered with societal issues, and that air of forbidden romance gives it a unique edge. Definitely a fascinating slice of Italian cinema from the '80s.
