Sandra
Visconti: A Retrospective
June 8 - August 15, 2018
With Sandra, Visconti traded The Leopard’s elegiac grandeur for something grittier and pulpier—the Electra myth in the form of a gothic melodrama, starring Claudia Cardinale as a woman who returns to her ancestral home in Tuscany and has a reckoning with her family’s dark wartime past.
Shady family secrets, incestuous siblings, descents into madness, decades-old conspiracies . . . With Sandra, Visconti traded The Leopard’s elegiac grandeur for something grittier and pulpier—the Electra myth in the form of a gothic melodrama. Claudia Cardinale’s title character returns to her ancestral home in Tuscany and has an unexpected encounter with her long-lost brother and a reckoning with her family’s dark wartime past. Shooting in a decaying mansion set amidst a landscape of ruins, Visconti came upon the great theme he would return to in his late career: the slow death of an aristocracy rooted in classical ideals but long since hollowed out by decadence and corruption.
