The Wicked

Directed by Carlo Lizzani

With Giuliana De Sio, Julian Sands, Erland Josephson, Milena Vukotić and Didi Perego

At the beginning of the 20th century, a junior resident takes an interest in a newly-arrived patient, a young Italian woman who has mysteriously developed schizophrenia. To identify the causes of her condition, he employs psychoanalytic methods to dig into her sexual past, despite objections by the old-fashioned chief physician.
