Immoral Tales (1973)

"Immoral Tales" (1973), directed by Walerian Borowczyk and based on André Pieyre de Mandiargues' writings, weaves together four provocative and daring erotic tales across different historical eras. "The Tide" portrays a forbidden encounter between a student and his young cousin, isolated on a secluded beach. "Therese Philosophe" delves into the sensual musings of a girl locked in her 19th-century bedroom, exploring the erotic potential of her surroundings. The enigmatic "Erzsebet Bathory" unveils the dark legend of a 16th-century countess who bathed in virgin blood. Finally, "Lucrezia Borgia" exposes a scandalous 15th-century orgy involving incestuous relations within the infamous Borgia family. This audacious film pushes the boundaries of desire, arousing fascination and controversy alike.
