Three titans of European cinema team up for a stylish film based on the works of macabre author Edgar Allen Poe.

Roger Vadim, Louis Malle and Federico Fellini direct Jane and Peter Fonda, Brigitte Bardot, Alain Delon, and Terence Stamp in three separate stories of souls tormented by their own phantasmal visions of guilt, lust and greed. Vadim directs the first segment, 'Metzengerstein', with Jane Fonda portraying the spoiled, vicious Frederique. Malle takes the middle slot with 'William Wilson', featuring Alain Delon as the troubled hero, a man who has been haunted since childhood by a man with his exact name. Fellini's segment, 'Toby Dammit', features Terence Stamp as a disheveled drugged and drunk English movie star who nods acceptance in the Italian press and his producers fawn over him. 'Spirits of the Dead' is a real gem for those who enjoy the surreal and grotesque.

Mangal Pandey - The Rising, is an epic tale of friendship, love, loss and betrayal set against the backdrop of the Indian Mutiny of 1857. British colonial rulers are plundering the country, treating the locals unjustly and causing widespread resentment.

Worst of all they are using the Indians as sepoys, the infantry of the army, to control and regulate the population. After a hundred years of subjugation, India is awakening to the revolutionary prospect of change and self-rule. During a fierce battle in the Afghan wars of the mid-century, Mangal Pandey, a heroic sepoy rescues his British commanding officer, William Gordon. The event creates a strong friendship and binding loyalty between them that transcends consideration of rank and race. The friendship is soon challenged, first by the arrival of a charming and beautiful young aristocrat, Emily Kent, and then by the introduction of controversial new gun cartridges amongst the troops. The relationship is complicated further when Gordon saves a beautiful young native girl, Jwala, from the funeral pyre of her late husband, and falls in love with her. The new cartridges require soldiers require soldiers to bite through their greased casing, made of animal fat, and suspicion spreads that the British are ignoring religious beliefs in favour of cheap weapons, and polluting their Muslim and Hindu soldiers. Gordon assures Mangal that the cartridges are free from pollution. Demonstrating total trust in Gordon, Mangal bites the cartridge only to discover that it really is animal fat. With rumour spreading that the cartridges will be widely used, it is this act that ignites the resentment in the country. Mutiny breaks out with Mangal Pandey growing in stature to lead the Indian people to freedom.
