"The Conviction"
1994
Directed by Marco Bellocchio
Marco Bellocchio's
controversial feature starts with a young woman and a professor who are accidentally
locked in a museum overnight. This enforced intimacy devolves into a night of love-making.
But in the morning the man reveals he had the keys the entire time. The woman, Clair
Nebout, accuses him of rape. The question that dominates the court trial is, "Was it
coercion or mutual passion?" Italian with English subtitles.
92 minutes. |
