Synopsis
Borowczyk’s wife
Ligia Branice gives a heartrending performances as
Blanche, the young, beautiful wife to an aging, senile baron (legendary Swiss actor
Michel Simon). When an amorous king pays a visit, not only does he fall under
Blanche’s spell, but so does his page, the infamous philanderer Monsieur Bartolomeo. Filmed by
Borowczyk to resemble a Medieval fresco,
Blanche also features stunning ancient musical arrangements drawn from the
Carmina Burana song book.
