In its time, this Czech drama was banned for obscenity. The controversy went so far that Hitler and Pope personally spoke against it. In addition to the story of adultery and nudity, which at the time was enough to cause controversy, it is considered the first non-pornographic film to show sexual intercourse (simulated, of course) and a close-up of a woman's face during orgasm. The lead actress changed her name after this movie to distance herself from it. I support. She should be ashamed, but not for obscenity. I wish it was half as good and interesting as it was controversial. With the best will, I have nothing to praise in this movie.
