Senso (1954)
Country: IT
Technical: col 115m
Director: Luchino Visconti
Cast: Alida Valli, Farley Granger, Massimo Girotti
Synopsis:
During the war of Italian re-unification (risorgimento), a nationalist countess falls for an Austrian officer.
Review:
Visconti's first colour film and a glimpse of the bent his career would later take: sumptuously created visuals, involving costume and set design, use of an American actor, long paragraphs of sequence shots and grandiloquent music (Bruckner's Seventh). The characters scowl at one another and bicker a lot, and it is all a bit of a bore, but a splendid one.
