Pompeii is a unique, enchanting place in the world, drawing over 4 million visitors a year from all over the globe. It was a city enlivened by violent passions and endowed with a flair that was in a class of its own. The power games, sexual appetites, unrestrained ambition and creative genius could be felt in the streets, breathed in the temples and admired in the frescoes that survived the tragic eruption of 79 AD.
Pompeii: Sin City is a journey back in time, to two thousand years ago, laying bare the myths and characters that helped make this site extraordinary, and rendered it timeless. From the love story between Dionysus and Ariadne, the ambiguous relationship between Leda and the Swan, the bloodlust satisfied by the gladiator fights, to Poppea Sabina’s desperate search for immortality, this film stages and analyzes the secret, rather insalubrious side of the city.
