Psychadelic at times, this unusual and memorable movie version of Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" has some creative details, and although it is one of the more obscure versions of the story, it offers a distinctive look at a couple of its many interesting aspects.

Michele Camerota - I copernicani e la Bibbia: il dibattito teologico sull'eliocentrismo da Copernico a Galileo
Michele Camerota: Professore di Storia della Scienza, Università degli Studi di Cagliari.
