The beautiful Thaïs Galitzy plays Vera, a Slavic countess, a seductress who drags married men to the brink of ruin. When she seduces the husband of her best friend, all involved meet a nasty fate.
Highly stylised biopic of the last Pagan Roman-Byzantine Emperor, Julian the Philosopher, known to Christians as 'the Apostate'. Orphaned by his cousin Constantius (Costanzo), and narrowly escaping death himself as a child, Julian is brought up on the Greek classics by his faithful tutor Mardonius.
