L'Innocente

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.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

  Women in Visconti's last Film ...
  
  Interesting that this was Visconti's last film at the age of 69. Apart from obvious themes of infidelity and jealousy, it also looks at atheism as a ... read more »

  I have seen three Visconte films - Death in Venice, The Leopard, and this one. His films combine an amazing stateliness of pace with an intensity of emotion ... read more »
