Summary
Segment William Wilson (by Louis
Malle):
In Italy in the 19th century, a young officer named William Wilson is
driven to confess to a priest that he has had evil feelings since
before he can remember. When he was a child, he tortured his
classmates, and now the same vicious feelings take hold of him whenever
he is playing cards. He cheats his partner, the beautiful Guiseppina,
and, as payment, she allows him to whip her. During another card
game, William’s double convinces his fellow players that William is a
cheat. In a fit of despair, William stabs his double to death,
knowing that as he does so he too must die...
