The final film from Italian master Luchino Visconti, The Innocent details the love & life of a wealthy Roman aristocrat (Giancarlo Giannini) during the late 19th century. Though flaunting a passionate affair with a young mistress (Jennifer O’Neill), he becomes consumed by his cast-off wife (Laura Antonelli) when she finally finds fulfillment through a new man. Featuring sumptuous design, precise staging and stylized décor perfect for big screen viewing!
“Visconti’s last film (completed shortly before his death) is among the most beautiful and severely disciplined films he has ever made… Miss Antonelli, whose childlike face and voluptuous body combine to form a kind of ideograph that tells us what the film is all about.” – Vincent Canby, The New York Times
