Documentary on Luchino Visconti (03/12)

[selfidentity1]

i think that this documentary is not fair to Visconti. despite his background and family he was an impressive movie director, and in this documentary he is almost being overshadowed by such a heavy past.

[infinitussollux]

i was expecting a docu on his films, this is more about family money, maybe the producers wanted to rub shoulders with royalty

[fernandoiosa]

i'm proud To be Italian for this products

THE ART

[bnprenaissance]

So this is Visconti which Morrissey sings about in the song you have killed me.

The visconti family were huge. But they are historically famous for once being the most cruelly violent and evil aristocratic family in europe. As you see from that scary crest!

[acmedressform]

I think the Italian aristocracy is quite shameful, they behaved like total cowards during world war II unlike the British royal family.

And as an Italian I think you're right, the king packed the jewelry and fled, literary.

That's why they've been banned from Italy since then.

Exactly... I couldn't agree more. Imagine to be born in such impressive environment!
