The Life and Times of Count Luchino Visconti

One of portraits of a great director. Explored sides of his personality in a chain of testimonies of colaborators, reminding his masterpieces, origins, roots of gestures and attitudes.

A hommage, no doubts, but one maybe too personal.

I am very indulgent about second part ( the first being maybe enough for be the documentary itself ) for my faibless for Helmut Berger. But his subjective comentaries , the feeling, in few moments, to be him the star of film is not always just nice.

The result - a travel , maybe in too hurry steps, across an univers familiar for his admirers.

The sketch of a credo, reconstructed in some measure, defining the life and work to a circle of impressive events defining biography and films, his tirany and his art of persuasion, his interesting details and the axis of relation with two colaborators.

A noble Italian as master of a luxurious univers.

It is the thing who real matters in this case.
