Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Luchino Visconti intended the title roles to be played by Alain Delon and Romy Schneider. But Delon was under long-term contract and the $1,000,000 that his producers wanted to release him was considered too much, and Schneider was pregnant at the time, so Visconti had to work with Laura Antonelli and the little-known Giancarlo Giannini.
- Quotes

Featured review
Languid pace no problem.
The languid pace of Visconti's last film is not a problem for me. He was an old man, directing from a wheelchair, and had slowed down a lot. Think of it as the long slow movement of a symphony by Mahler - whose music, you will remember, he used in Death in Venice - and it will make more sense.
What I want to know is more about Gabriele D'Annunzio's novel. One commentator claims that the male lead is a kind of 'atheistic hero' faithful to his beliefs, and that Visconti subverts the author's intention by showing him as a rich aristocrat as selfish as he is unpleasant. Can any authority on Italian literature shed any light?
