A very sexually explicit art film made by the Hungarian Jancso in Italy. Crown Prince Rudolf is about to ascend to the throne when his father abdicates. His father disapproves of his overly sexual lifestyle (he is married, but spends most of his time boinking an incestuous brother and sister couple). Rudolf embraces the depravity, hating his father. Much of the film takes place during a day-long orgy, which involves a hermaphrodite (Teresa Anne Savoy, who also starred in sexploitation classics Salon Kitty and Caligula; in reality, Savoy is a woman). This film doesn't contain the impressive long takes of the two other Jancso films I've seen since his death, The Red and the White and Electra My Love, but the cinematography is still very gorgeous. If nudity and sex don't bother you, this is actually quite a good film. The copy I saw was dubbed into English, but, since it's an Italian movie with an international cast, it would have been dubbed anyways.
