The Sinner (Italian : La peccatrice) is a 1975 Italian romantic drama film co-written and directed by Pier Ludovico Pavoni.
The film was a produced by P.A.C. [1] It was the last film of Clara Calamai and the last film directed by Pavoni. [1]
Italian film critic Marco Giusti described the film as "remarkable", a "curious Matarazzata with a fine cast and a Zeudi Araya at her best". [1] Antonio Guastella from Nocturno described it as a "turgidly retro" and more socially engaged variation of Pavoni's previous effort Amore libero - Free Love . [2] He wrote "Interesting in the beginning [...] it loses its way in the second half, becoming rushed and sluggish, despite its excellent sets and a particularly evocative music interspersed with singer-songwriter Rosa Balistreri's voice". [2] According to Paolo Mereghetti, the film is midway between art cinema and fotoromanzo, with too many stereotypes about the fatalism, attitude, and immobility of Sicily. [3]
