Cruel Passion

1977 · 99 min

A grim, languid descent into exploitation and suffering, watching innocence ground down with cold, voyeuristic detachment.

Tagline: No woman suffered more...
Overview: Justine is a nubile young virgin cast out of a French orphanage and thrust into a depraved world of prostitution, predatory lesbians, a fugitive murderess, bondage, branding, and one supremely sadistic monk. It's a twisted tale of strange desires, perverse pleasures and the ultimate corruption of innocence as told by the Marquis de Sade.
