Acerca de la película
Edgar Allan Poe’s *The Cask of Amontillado* tells the chilling story of Montresor’s revenge against Fortunato, who has insulted him. During an Italian carnival in 1846, Montresor lures Fortunato into his catacombs under the pretext of tasting a cask of Amontillado. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he chains him and walls him in alive, thus carrying out his plan. This is a free adaptation of the original text, in which eternal recurrence and repetition ultimately transform and distort the plot. A story about revenge, the abuse of power, and violence, but also about the possibility of change, reparation, and innocence.
