directed by Luchino Visconti. Italy 1954 (120 min)

A true masterpiece in the history of the cinema, extraordinarily intense and uniquely beautiful, this movie is set against the backdrop of the Italo-Austrian war.  Visconti paints a melodramatic picture of exasperated sensuality and death, using his critical approach on history to take a fresh and unhypocritical look at the Risorgimento and at the tragic decadence of a once revolutionary society.
