Passionate melodrama, surrealist erotica and the rapturous strains of Mendelssohn collide head on in STORY OF SIN - the story of Ewa, whose betrayal in love drives her to murder and prostitution.
Based on a novel based placed on the Index by the Church, Borowczyk's only feature to be shot in Poland meticulously recreates a time in which his country had no official existence, casting a cynical eye on a corrupt society committed to exploiting the innocent and repressing the erotic.
In Borowczyk's hands a corset, dried rose petals and an antiquated phonograph, all crackle with restless sexual energy. Featuring a startling debut by Grazyna Dlugolecka. STORY OF SIN is not only one of Borowczyk's most successful films, but also his most prescient.
