Bestialita (1976)

"Bestialita" is an Italian drama steeped in the provocative, boundary-pushing sensibility that defined much of the country's genre cinema in its era. Leonora Fani anchors the film with a raw physicality that the camera lingers on unapologetically, while Juliette Mayniel brings her own presence to the proceedings. The archive holds just 1 scene from the film, a nude sequence that captures Fani baring all with the kind of unguarded intensity that fans of vintage European cinema seek out. It's a brief but telling glimpse into a production built around discomfort and desire in equal measure.
