: While visually stunning, some critics from IMDb and Chicago Reader find the film "ponderous," "disjointed," and sometimes boring due to its slow, dialogue-light segments. Reception and Legacy Immoral Tales (1973)
The final segment is set during the Italian Renaissance. Lucrezia Borgia, the famously poisoned daughter of Pope Alexander VI, dines with her father and brother, Cesare. While exotic fruits are served, Lucrezia’s lover waits in a cupboard. The “immoral tale” here is a dark comedy of incestuous tension and cannibalism. In the climax (literal and figurative), Lucrezia’s father and brother watch through a peephole as she makes love to her lover, then joyfully dines on a fruit that resembles a human heart. The segment is a feast of red velvet, gold leaf, and carnal appetite.
