Liebeskonzil

Directed by Werner Schroeter
March 12, 1982    1h 32mDrama
6.5
The film adapts Oskar Panizza's controversial 1894 play. It depicts God, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and the Devil convening to punish humanity's immorality. The Devil creates syphilis as a divine punishment, spreading it through Salome, starting at the papal court and beyond. Using grotesque, theatrical imagery, the film satirizes religion, morality, and censorship, blending allegory and provocative staged drama.
