Interesting facts
The Witches' Sabbath is a 1988 Italian-French drama film written and directed by Marco Bellocchio.
Production
Actress Raffaella Rossellini accused her colleague Daniel Ezralow of using violence, including carnal violence, on the set. The offending scene is the one in which the male protagonist tries to free himself and take possession of the "witch" Rossellini, embracing and slapping her, attracting and repelling her with force, finally dragging her into a pond. But finally Rossellini recanted by filing a simple labor lawsuit.
