Guilty Rebel is a 2024 Italian-American drama loosely based on Shakespeare's poem The Rape of Lucrece, set in a haunting 13th century castle in the mountains of Italy, in which General Collatine boasts so proudly about the beauty and virtue of his wife Lucrece that he unwittingly ignites an obsessive, consuming desire in his friend Prince Tarquin — and Tarquin, torn between his lust and the knowledge that pursuing her means spiritual damnation, ultimately forces himself upon her, an act that leads to devastating and tragic consequences for everyone involved.
