Internationally renowned director Luchino Visconti (Senso, The Leopard, Death in Venice) combined keenly realistic observations and strong passions to create one of his most satisfying and deeply affecting films.Cut by Italian censors because of its violence, this restored, unedited version presents the film in all its richness, demonstrating why it is a modern classic.
