The film is very explicitly a Savior Piscicelli shooting modes and narrative conventions of melodrama and film Neapolitan vein. His players come from the dialect theater, and the story is full of debts to pay, bullying to please, misfortunes that happen to the creature, pilgrimages to Montevergine. But in the midst of all this lies the scandal, the story of a love between two women, born in a prison and went outside, regardless of the people, a husband of her friends.
This is a fabulous little movie, masterfully acted and quite macabre. If you have a chance to see it, don't miss it. It may be advertised as a story of 'Two Women in Love', which is its English title, however it's more than that. It's about risk taking and 'doing as you are pleased' (the favourite motto of the main character) and getting whatever goes along with that. The atmosphere of an old, small Italian town in the Naples region has been convincingly recreated. Those who speak Italian will recognise the accent immediately. Erotic scenes are awesome, albeit applied in moderation. They are both exciting and convincing. At moments they are quite explicit even by today's standards, and the movie was released in 1979! A wonderful movie without stars, bells and whistles, for those open minded who are not afraid to take risks themselves.
