Luchino Visconti, the father of Neo Realism revisits the dramatic themes from his award winning The Leopard in his final work of art L INNOCENTE. Driven by a powerful performance by Giancarlo Giannini (Casino Royale & Quantum Of Solace) whose antihero displays hitherto uncharted monstrosity, L INNOCENTE is set against the opulent backdrop of the decadent aristocratic life of late 19th century and its hypocritical social conventions; telling the story of Tullio (Giannini) who, having left his wife for his latest mistress, is seized by jealous fury when he discovers that his wife has also taken a lover. Outraged by this unsuspected audacity, he will do everything to reconquer her...
Presented for the very 1st time in widescreen HD from restored materials doing justice to Visconti s celebrated painterly cinematography, this epoch-closing masterpiece is the director s last film Visconti died on its completion.
