LUCHINO VISCONTI’s Films

Yet another series presented by Cinematheque Ontario are the films of Italian maestro Luchino Visconti.  An excellent selection of his films is being screened from July 18th to the end of August. 

His films delve often into the theme of men preying on men.  They stretch from the simple LA TERRA TREMA about the hardship of fishermen to the extravagant like THE DAMNED that traces the downfall of a wealthy industrialist family during the Third Reich.
