Beatrice Cenci [Blu-ray]

Lucio Fulci - Beatrice Cenci [Blu-ray]

Lucio Fulci considered it the finest film he ever made. Based on a notorious true story, Beatrice Cenci (also known as The Conspiracy of Torture) moves between two timelines to reveal how one of Rome's most powerful noble families came to ruin, ending with their execution in 1599. Tomas Milian (Traffic, Amistad), Adrienne La Russa and Georges Wilson (Don't Torture a Duckling) star.

Its fierce condemnation of the Catholic Church caused an uproar in Italy on its 1969 release, and its unflinching brutality points straight toward the gore that would make Fulci a legend. 88 Films presents it uncut and uncensored in high definition for the first time in the US, newly restored in 2K from the original negative.
