Two tales, one theme: love kills, then laughs about it. Italian anthology chaos.
Two episodes on the theme of love and death. In the first, set in nineteenth-century Russia, we have a vehement passion that a family feud turns into tragedy. The second is a Boccaccio comedy in contemporary Sicily.
Production
Wild tonal whiplash between Russian gloom and Sicilian farce.
Costume
Period piece excess meets 70s contemporary flair.
Director
Marcello Andrei
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Enrico Maria Salerno, Segment 2's star, was also the iconic voice of Darth Vader in the Italian dub of Star Wars.
