Englisch Visconti tells the story of repeated infidelity, illegitimate children, and uncontrollable jealousy. It is underpinned by vanity, opulence, snobbery, and elitism. Where one's ego is elevated above ethics, ruthlessness can lead to the destruction of human life. Visconti directs like a painter, carefully layering color upon color, until a magnificent and cohesive picture emerges, a feast for the eyes. Excellent cinematography indulges in the visual splendor of noble palaces and ladies' gowns. Visconti manages to restrain himself, and thus the reasonable runtime does not lead to aesthetic boredom. Overall impression: 90%. ()
