As he’s playing, a man high up on a balcony is pushed to his death. Raffaele is compelled to conduct his own investigation and becomes embroiled in a mystery involving a macabre secret...
Directed by Sergio Corbucci, Atrocious Tales of Love and Death leans on a strong ensemble — Marcello Mastroianni, Ornella Muti, Michel Piccoli — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1979.
