Summary

This is an essay on the film Ritesti (1992) by Iván Zulueta, as from the literary and pictorial sources that were the filmmaker.s inspiration. It contains an analysis of the dramatic significance as well as of the narrative effects of Botticelli.s paintings, Boccaccio.s tales and Schubert.s music in the film. Finally, the movie is interpreted as a risky oneiric fantasy in connection with the relations of Love with Death, of what is Beautiful with what is Sinister.
