About Burnt By A Scalding Passion
Virginia and Casimiro are both married with children to passionate spouses, while they are shy and devoted to poetry, crying watching "Anna Karenina" on TV. They commute every day from a little town in Lombardy to Milan and during the journeys they meet and fall in love. They suffer from being unable to realize their love without hurting their marriages but they don't know their respective spouses share a hot relationship...
Directed by Giorgio Capitani, Burnt By A Scalding Passion leans on a strong ensemble — Cochi Ponzoni, Jane Birkin, Aldo Maccione — 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 1976.
