Academy Award Tx winner Elizabeth Taylor headlines the cast of this superb, deeply moving psychodrama. Secret Ceremony is a dark journey, a melange of mental illness and deception.
Cenci (Mia Farrow), a wealthy, psychotic waif fixes on Leonora (Taylor), a prostitute who strongly resembles the girl's dead mother. She eventually entices Leonora to her large, comfortable home and begins addressing her as 'mommy'. Maternal feelings, sympathy for this lost girl, and the prospect of luxurious living such as she has never known convince Leonora to adopt the role of Cenci's mother.
Soon, however, lines begin to blur and their relationship becomes far more complex.
