Film Description

Visconti's last great film is a melodrama with a typically understated power, in which a man who involves himself with casual affairs leaves his wife for his latest mistress, but wants her back when she becomes pregnant by another man. Typical of Marxist aristocrat Visconti, it's luscious in setting, colour and decor, but it has a piercing sting in its tail.

Review by Barry Forshaw on 1st November 2004

Credited with influencing Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence, Visconti's last film (released in 1976, the year of his death) is a lavishly presented account of male chauvinism and sexual double standards set in 19th century Italy. The film stars Giancarlo Giannini as a wealthy Italian aristocrat and philanderer who, bored with his sensitive, tormented wife, Laura Antonelli, begins a torrid and very public love affair with his sensuous mistress, Jennifer O'Neill
