About Private Vices, Public Virtues
The setting is a Central European kingdom, near the turn of the century. Bored by his very proper wife, the youthful heir to the throne spends his time in amorous dalliances at a sprawling country estate. His wife departs at the arrival of his friends, and they organize a celebration which becomes a wild orgy and culminates in death and tragedy.
Directed by Miklós Jancsó, Private Vices, Public Virtues leans on a strong ensemble — Lajos Balázsovits, Pamela Villoresi, Franco Branciaroli — 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 1976.
