Immoral Women poster

Released in 1979, Immoral Women is a drama film directed by Walerian Borowczyk, running about 109 minutes.

What it’s about. The first episode – featuring frequent Borowczyk muse Marina Pierro – is the longest and, in a way, most substantial: it’s set in Renaissance Rome, with the lusty (and perpetually nude) leading lady sexually involved with famous painters and church benefactors. The second episode is the most notorious and, consequently, gave the film its controversial poster – featuring a rabbit slowly disappearing under the skirt of a teenage girl (played by Gaelle Legrand). The third and final episode, which has a modern-day setting, is the shortest – but also, possibly, the most outrageous: Pascale Christophe is a young married woman who’s abducted on a busy Parisian street by a small-time hood hidden inside a cardboard box!

Who’s in it. Immoral Women stars Marina Pierro as Margherita Luti, Gaëlle Legrand as Marceline Cain, Pascale Christophe as Marie and François Guétary as Raphael Sanzio, among others.
