The Luchino Visconti movies atmosphere , the beautiful nuanced performance of Al Nazemian the last temptation and the fall in death as a sort of new level of life, the wish to die and the answer offered by a presumed young gardener and by the women of his life.
A period drama, poetic, admirable crafted, seductive, inspired game of ambiguity. And the feeling about sparkles of your story , the film working, in some measure, as warning.
The basic virtue - its smart simplicity , defining, in precise terms, familiar realities , pieces from ourself.
In short, refinated poem, in which melancholia works impecable.
