The Tempter (1975)
(Il sorriso del grande tentatore)
Country: GB/IT
Technical: col 105m
Director: Damiano Damiani
Cast: Glenda Jackson, Claudio Cassinelli, Lisa Harrow, Adolfo Celi
Synopsis:
A writer arrives in a religious establishment for commuted criminals and immoral clergymen to compose the self-justificatory memoirs of a Polish priest and Nazi collaborator. Things are never quite the same again...
Review:
Obscure reflections on faith, the ethics of confession, the desire for repression, do not quite justify this overlong hothouse piece, complete with pulsing incantatory soundtrack. But it is a curiosity worth seeing and liable to anger Catholics.
