An Italian high school student becomes infatuated with a woman he sees outside his class window. Her fiancée is in jail for being involved in a radical movement, and she spends much time in court providing moral support. At first she resists the student's advances, but eventually begins an affair with him. Their situation is condemned by her family and his father, who is the woman's psychologist.

One of the most controversial Italians films of the 80s, Devil In The Flesh takes Raymond Radiguet’s classic novel and updates it to modern times. Dealing with the legacy of Italy’s "leaden years" and the aftermath of the social struggles headed by the extreme left wing revolutionary groups, Devil In The Flesh caused a critical uproar upon it’s release due to its highly-charged political and sexually frank subject matter. Marushka Detmers (The Mambo Kings) stars as Giulia, a young woman engaged to marry Giacomo, her fiance who’s sitting behind bars because of his political activity. Restless in her appetites and inner turmoil, she meets a young student named Andrea and a passionate affair quickly ensues. But when the day arrives in which she has to face whether she wants to share her life with Giacomo or not, Giulia takes a surprising decision… Boldly directed by Marco Bellocchio (Good Morning, Night) and featuring superb cinematography by Giuseppe Lanci, Devil In The Flesh is a powerfully erotic film that deserves to be discovered and appreciated without preconceptions. With it’s mixing of political and sexual issues, Bellocchio retains the strength and relevancy of the classic text and makes a strong contemporary statement in favour of absolute artistic and political freedom. As controversial as films get, Devil In The Flesh remains one of the most important Italian films of our time.
