Was that scene in the book?
shareThis was the best scene of the entire movie.
shareI was surprised by this scene and the brief (too brief) excerpt of the intense and chromatic music of Carlo Gesualdo, the murderous Prince of Venosa in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It gives a bit of gravitas to the film. Does anyone know if the details the journalist's wife gives in this scene about Gesualdo's killing of his wife and her lover are correct? She states that Gesualdo had the lover put on his murdered wife's bloody dressing gown to debase himself before killing him. She then says Gesualdo killed his (or maybe his wife's lover's) child by bashing its head against the furniture. This was a strange and unexpected scene in this film.
shareHe did indeed murder his first wife and her lover, but not his son. His first son died 3 weeks before himself. His second son from his second wife died as a child.
