      () In the gods stages of the Risorgimento, the Austrians win the battle of Custoza, even as their empire crumbles; while Contessa Alida Valli (The Third Man) dallies with Austrian deserter Farley Granger, for whom she betrays her own Italian cause. With Visconti’s historical work – his first in color – dynamically coordinated to convey emotion and pivotal scenes underscored by Bruckner’s 7th Symphony, this was his decisive break with Neo-Realism, and despite dire production difficulties (his ideal leads, Ingrid Bergman and Marlon Brando were nixed, while a pivotal en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film was censored by the Ministry of Defense).

      Luchino Visconti

      Italian theatre, opera and cinema director

      For other uses, see Luchino Visconti (disambiguation).

      Luchino Visconti di Modrone, Count of Lonate Pozzolo (Italian:[luˈkiːnoviˈskontidimoˈdroːne]; 2 November – 17 March ) was an Italian filmmaker, theatre and opera director, and screenwriter. He was one of the fathers of cinematic neorealism, but later moved towards luxurious, sweeping epics dealing with themes of beauty, decadence, death, and European history, especially the decay of the nobility and the bourgeoisie. Critic Jonathan Jones wrote that “no one did as much to shape Italian cinema as Luchino Visconti.”[1]

      Born into a Milanesenoble family with close ties to the artistic world, Visconti began his career in France as an assistant director to Jean Renoir. His directorial debut, Ossessione, was condemned by the Fascist regime for its unvarnished depictions of working-class characters, but is today renowned as a pioneering work of Italia
