Immoral Tales (film)
Immoral Tales (French: Contes immoraux) is a 1974 French anthology film directed by Walerian Borowczyk. The film was Borowczyk's most sexually explicit at the time. The film is split into four erotic themed stories that involve the loss of virginity, masturbation, bloodlust and incest.
After the release of Immoral Tales, Borowczyk began to fall out of favor from film critics. Modern critical reception to the film is that it is not one of Borowczyk's strongest works.
