At the end of the 15th Century, Rome is ruled ruthlessly by power mad and sex hungry Cesare Borgia, the eldest son of Pope Alexander VI. Following the advice of his chief adviser Niccolo Macchiavelli, Cesare Borgia decides to attempt to unify the country in order to become even more powerful. To this end he needs his sister Lucrezia. Presently, the beautiful creature is married to the Count of Pesaro but she would be more useful if she was the wife of Alphonse of Aragon. (imdb)

PUNQ

Rated 06 Jun 2013

Abel Gance tackles the story of the Borgia family and all their scandals. The portrayed is brutal and direct, not to mention spiced up by a lot of naked white women! But not even that saves this from being anything more then a average movie experience. Surprised that Gance couldn't get more out of all the killing, sex and religious hypocrisies that this piece of history has. He usually such a visual expert at getting the demonized emotions across. At least he was in the silent era....
