Luchino Visconti’s lavish, operatic Risorgimento-set melodrama about a 19th-century Venetian countess torn between loyalty to her country and a dissolute Austrian officer is a key link between the neorealist grit of his early work and the grand-scale historical spectacles to come.

Set in the final years of the Risorgimento, Luchino Visconti’s operatic melodrama is a key link between the neorealist grit of his early work and the increasingly grand-scale historical spectacles to come. The Third Man’s Alida Valli plays a tremulous Venetian countess torn between loyalty to her country and a dissolute Austrian officer (Hollywood beauty Farley Granger). As much an aesthete as a political radical, Visconti luxuriates in aristocratic period trappings—a Technicolor feast of sumptuous gold, lavender, scarlet, and emerald jewel tones—while casting a jaundiced, contemporary eye on Italian history, class, and nationalism. 2K DCP digital restoration by CSC-Cineteca Nazionale, Cineteca di Bologna, and Studio Canal, supported by Gucci and The Film Foundation.
