The Duchess kneeling on her bed in a wash of cold blue light.

The Duchess of Malfi tells the story of the spirited Duchess of Malfi and her love for trustworthy servant Antonio.

An intense depiction of corrupted familial relationships, at odds with forbidden love and a powerful female heroine.

A powerful depiction of Jacobean misogyny.
