In Reply to: Le Notte Bianchi´s Luchino Visconti film is---- posted by patrickU on January 6, 2006 at 04:32:25:
anti-Hollywood acting of Marais, the economy of his style allowing his fierce physical presence to be the more powerful. I thought it provided a terrific antidote to Mastroianni's emotiveness and made a dramatic contrast which defined Schell's dilemma.
A man adrift in a cold landscape... it is still the predicament of modern man, is it not? Obscured by Clouds (La Vallee) showed the distance we've covered. The simple joys depicted in that film seem so much more attractive than those in Visconti/Antonioni/De Sica/ and other post-war Italian directors' worlds.
