Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Rome

Devil in the Flesh is an Italian film released in 1986 and directed by Marco Bellocchio.

Production

One of the more notable aspects of the film is an extended (though darkly lit) scene in which the character played by Maruschka Detmers performs unsimulated fellatio on the character played by Federico Pitzalis.

The oral sex scene between Maruschka Detmers and Federico Pitzalis was not part of the script. It was Massimo Fagioli, Marco Bellocchio's collaborator, who suggested it."
