NOT a biography ...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Luchino Visconti (Paperback)
If you are looking for a comprehenisve biography of Visconti, this is not the book for you. It is a (fairly interesting) analysis of his films from an academic point of view. Undoubtedly a good resource for students of cinema, but those looking for something that would place Visconti's work within the context of his life, and give information about the development and production of his films, will be disappointed, as I was.
