The Damned - Dinner Scene

A key scene from Visconti's "The Damned" (1969). The interactions between characters are telling of the evolving plot, and the dialogue is important both for the story as well as historically - in that it refers to historic events, namely the burning of the Reichstag in February, 1933 when the action is happening. A conspiracy theory states that the Nazis burned the Reichstag themselves and framed Communists, in order to sway the population against Communism in the upcoming elections.

Director: Luchino Visconti
Cast: Albrecht Schoenhals, Dirk Bogarde, Charlotte Rampling, Ingrid Thulin, Helmut Griem, Helmut Berger, Umberto Orsini, Reinhard Kolldehoff
