Submission (1976)

It's been many years since I saw " Scandalo ", twice in one week in 1977 in a Sydney art house cinema where it ran for many weeks. Not big audiences but obviously one of those word-of-mouth movies that needs time to attract audiences. I don't recall the political or philosophical content but what stays vivid is the daring performance of Lisa Gastoni and her completely naked walk at night in the village. Brave stuff and very erotic. The music and photography were the other aspects I remember vividly, the crazily inventive movement and lighting of the great Vittorio Storaro and a music score that was equally atmospheric and memorable.
