It is a masterpiece, such a careful and refine portrait of XIX century Italian aristocracy, an intense tragedy done with extreme good taste and style characteristic of one of the greatest film director of the Italian cinema. Gianncarlo Giannini and Laura Antonelli give great performances.

Overall it's a quiet film with thoughtful performances and seems to be sincere in its attempt to show the central role of King Ludwig of Bavaria as a very sensitive, sad, ultimately self destructive King who loved art and music more than his throne. Here he is gently ...             Le Notti Bianche (White Nights) - Criterion Collection15 reviews Marcello Mastroianni, Jean Marais Criterion, 2005 Visconti + Dostoyevsky = One of the Best Adaptations Ever Lucino Visconti's "White Nights" (1957) - is an engaging, uplifting, and compelling screen adaptation of Dostoyevsky's short story. I applaud to Visconti's masterful and elegant direction - everything is exquisite in his masterpiece. The settings came from a fairy tale - he moved his heroes to the dream like city that looked very much like Venice - with its canals and bridges. Original story took ...             The Leopard - Criterion Collection94 reviews Luchino Visconti, Burt Lancaster Criterion, 2004 Well worth a second viewing with the English commentary on Other reviewers have provided plenty of information on this film which I won't repeat here. Nor will I indulge in a bout of political or philosophic pontification which does little justice to the viewer's independent judgement or the film itself. In response to some of the fiery commentaries posted earlier, I'd only say - Visconti was far too subtle a film-maker to wear his politics on his ...             CONVERSATION PIECE+CHOICE OF WEAPONS[DOUBLE FEATURE] EAST WEST ENTERTAINMENT CONVERSATION[A retired profesor of American origin lives a solitary life in a luxurious palazzo in Rome, until the vulgar italian Marchesa and her companion arrive.]--/--CHOICE[Infuriated at the failures of the modern justice system, a group of British aristocrats take the law into their own hands]             The Damned34 reviews Dirk Bogarde, Ingrid Thulin Warner Home Video, 2004 Gotterdamerung.... This is one of Visconti's best films, a lurid, complex rumination on family, aristocracy, capitalism, and Nazism. It's probably his heaviest film, filled with sturm und drang. It's not a particularly enjoyable film. Most, if not all, the main characters are greedy, selfish, pervetted, and neurotic, and despite the Nazi takeover of the country, few of them seem too concerned about it, and most ...             Ossessione14 reviews Clara Calamai, Massimo Girotti Image Entertainment, 2002 Il Postino always rings Twice It is difficult to review this movie without comparing it to "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (TPART). That's because both are based on the same novel by James Cain. I had heard of "TPART" for years before I finally saw it for the first time earlier this year. My impression was that it was a good movie but, having waited anxiously for so long to see it, it was something of a let down. Last ...             The Conformist (Extended Edition)66 reviews Jean-Louis Trintignant, Stefania Sandrelli Paramount, 2006 Classic! It is a year of Bernardo Bertolucci's revival. Everyone was talking about "The Conformist" this year and I have decided to see the film again. Based on Moravia's book, film depicts young man, in his early thirties, doing his best to fit in society of the fascist Italy of the pre world war II era. The entire film is symbolism of man's search for himself and discovery of one's true identity. ...             Maria Callas - Passion / A Film by Gerard Caillat3 reviews Luchino Visconti, Covent Garden Opera EMI Classics, 2006 The beauty of Bel Canto This is delightful.A great documentary about the Queen of theaters.I like it very much.It's back in the 40's-50's when Madame Callas was in her glorious years of entertainment.There're also interviews with some celebrities like Luciano Berengo and Maria Oliva De Poli.

I just think potential buyers need to be aware that this item doesn't have English subtitles. If you speak or read Russian or Italian you're in luck.

The scope, cinematography, and character development is excellent. The gradual deterioation and dethronement of Ludwig is very well represented. The question as to whether Ludwig is a genius or a madman- or a combination of both- is handled sensitively and intelligently. The portrayl of his enduring love of his cousin ...             Luchino Visconti - A Portrait3 reviews Marcello Mastroianni, Alain Delon Image Entertainment, 2001 VERY INTERESTING AND FASCINATING...

Luchino Visconti is a master of the epic, however, his epic style always takes place within a family and always leads downward towards an inevitable doom. His movies tends to remind us of the 'Godfather' but Visconti, dare I say, even gets closer to the marrow of the issues than Coppola does at his best (I am nevertheless, a big fan of 'the Godfather').
