About The Devil in the Hills
It is in the late 1930s, and Cesare Pavese, a writer, with two of his friends meets a very uninhibited noble couple.
Directed by Vittorio Cottafavi, The Devil in the Hills leans on a strong ensemble — Alessandro Fontana, Roberto Accornero, Matteo Corvino — 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 drama titles of 1985.
