Devil in the Flesh (1986 film)

Devil in the Flesh (original title: Il diavolo in corpo) is an Italian film released in 1986 and directed by Marco Bellocchio.

An adaptation of Raymond Radiguet’s novel Le Diable au corps, the film stars Federico Pitzalis as a high school student who falls in love with an older woman (played by Maruschka Detmers).

An Italian high school student named Andrea becomes infatuated with Giulia, an older woman he sees outside his classroom window.

The situation becomes complicated when her fiancé's mother finds out about this and confronts Andrea's father, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who has treated Giulia in the past.

The final ten minutes present a fitting conclusion to all the confusion and passion built up craftily in the film.
