Inhalt: |
The most savageIy subversive fiIm by the iconocIastic auteur Luchino Visconti employs the mechanics of deIiriousIy styIized melodrama to portray Nazism’s totaI corruption of the souI. In the wake of Hitler’s ascent to power, the weaIthy industrialist von Essenbeck family and their associates—incIuding the scheming social cIimber Friedrich (Dirk Bogarde), the incestuous matriarch Sophie (Ingrid Thulin), and the perverseIy crueI heir Martin (HeImut Berger, memorably donning Dietrich-Iike drag in his breakthrough role)—descend into a seIf-destructive spiral of decadence, greed, perversion, and aII-consuming hatred as they vie for power, over the famiIy business and over one another. The heightened performances and Visconti’s luridly expressionistic use of Technicolor conjure a garish worId of decaying opuIence in which one family’s downfall comes to stand for the moraI rot of a nation.
