Young Lucrezia (Italian: Lucrezia giovane) is a 1974 Italian historical drama film directed by Luciano Ercoli and starring Simonetta Stefanelli, Massimo Foschi, Raffaele Curi and Ettore Manni.[1]
The film opens with Lucrezia (Simonetta Stefanelli), seeking solace in a monastic retreat, engaging in a forbidden affair with her brother, Juan (Paolo Malco). Cesare's (Massimo Foschi) paranoia leads to a confrontation where he accuses Juan of defiling Lucrezia, resulting in fratricide. Haunted by the tragedy, Lucrezia flees from Cesare's oppressive control, navigating a perilous dynamic of fear and longing. Themes of power, betrayal, and familial love intertwine as Lucrezia grapples with her complex relationships. The film culminates in a gripping finale that challenges loyalties and explores the blurred boundaries between love and possession in a family torn apart by dark desires.
