Editorial Reviews

ENGLISH SUBTITLES!!! Import (Russian release), Region free, Widescreen, NTSC DVD. Audio Tracks: DD 2.0 ITALIAN and optional DD 2.0 RUSSIAN (voice-over)____________ SYNOPSIS: Based on a novel by Gabriele d'Annunzio, The Innocent (L'Innocente) is set amongst the aristocracy of 19th-century Italy. Wealthy Tullio (Giancarlo Giannini) thinks nothing of squiring his mistress (Jennifer O'Neill) in full view of his friends and the public. But when Giannini's cast-off wife (Laura Antonelli) begins an affair with a young novelist (based, it is said, on author d'Annunzio), it is too much for the philandering aristocrat. Outside of Erich von Stroheim, few directors were as masterful at combining lavishness with depravity as Luchino Visconti. The Innocent turned out to be Visconti's last film; he died in 1976, shortly before the picture's premiere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great film, the last Visconti, January 5, 2008

This review is from: The Innocent (L'Innocente) - by Luchino Visconti - with ENGLISH subtitles (Import) (DVD)

"L'Innocente" is the last film of Visconti (1976), he died shortly after.
It is a masterpiece, such a careful and refine portrait of XIX century Italian aristocracy, an intense tragedy done with extreme good taste and style characteristic of one of the greatest film director of the Italian cinema.
Gianncarlo Giannini and Laura Antonelli give great performances. The cinematography by Pasquelino de Santis and the music (!) of Franco Mannino
are superb. This film is an unusual cinematographic experience.
