Contes immoraux

"Contes immoraux" (1973) is a French anthology film directed by Walerian Borowczyk, consisting of four erotic tales from various historical eras. The first story, "The Tide", features Fabrice Luchini and Lise Danvers stranded on the beach with his young cousin, while "Thérèse Philosophe" stars Charlotte Alexandra as a teenage girl locked in her room, contemplating the erotic potential of objects. The film also explores darker themes, including Elizabeth Báthory's alleged mass murder of young girls and the incestuous orgy of the Borgia family, with Paloma Picasso as the countess.
