    Enjoyable romp

    Enjoyed the settings and cinematography of this film, basic poor girl unable to marry rich guy. Not much employment at the time - so becomes a courtesan. It is not at all high brow or trying to be other than it is - an enjoyable romp

    Stunning...

    Absolutely beautifully made film, I'd watch it for the cinematography alone but thankfully it's got a great story line with Veronica Franco making an early stand for womens' rights.
