Tullio Hermil is a chauvinist aristocrat who flaunts his mistress to his wife, but when he believes she has been unfaithful, he becomes enamored of her again.
Luchino Visconti’s last film, based on the novel by Gabriele d’Annunzio, follows arrogant Roman aristocrat Tullio Hermil as he openly cheats on his wife, Giuliana. Carrying on an affair with his scheming mistress, Teresa Raffo, without any concern for his spouse, Tullio becomes jealous when he suspects Giuliana is having an affair of her own, leading to conflict and, ultimately, tragedy.
“Visconti’s last film (completed in 1976 shortly before his death) and among the most beautiful and severely disciplined films he has ever made. “ – New York Times
“The film resolves itself into an almost painfully sincere meditation on masculine self-delusion. It has a great performance from Laura Antonelli as the wife, and excellent ones from Giannini and Jennifer O’Neill as husband and lover. “ – Time Out
“Visconti treats the script’s florid speeches as sensual delights-translations into language of a vanished opulence that his images lovingly display. “ – New Yorker
