Devil in the Flesh Movie Review 1987

A angst-ridden, semi-pretentious Italian drama about an obsessive older woman carrying on an affair with a schoolboy, despite her terrorist boyfriend and the objections of the lad's psychiatrist father, who had treated her. Famous for a graphic sex scene, available in the unrated version. Updated remake of the 1946 French film. Italian with subtitles.
