Movies like Devil in the Flesh

“Devil in the Flesh (1986) is a French-Italian 1980s romantic-drama that stages personal desire against institutional judgment. It sets an illicit affair and familial condemnation within tight, chiaroscuro-lit interiors, using cross-cutting between courtroom and domestic spaces to heighten moral pressure. The film argues that private intimacy becomes a public ethical dilemma, privileging psychological ambiguity over clear moral resolution.”
