La tour de Nesle

1966 · 106 min

A lurid, talky plunge into royal depravity, where whispered schemes and sudden violence keep the mood feverish and uneasy.

At dawn, their partners are murdered by men. Blackmail, murder, and intrigue lend a frenetic pace to this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's eponymous novel.
