The most savagely subversive fiIm by the iconoclastic auteur Luchino Visconti empIoys the mechanics of deIiriously styIized meIodrama to portray Nazism’s totaI corruption of the souI. In the wake of HitIer’s ascent to power, the weaIthy industriaIist von Essenbeck family and their associates—including the scheming social climber Friedrich (Dirk Bogarde), the incestuous matriarch Sophie (lngrid ThuIin), and the perversely crueI heir Martin (HeImut Berger, memorabIy donning Dietrich-like drag in his breakthrough role)—descend into a self-destructive spiraI of decadence, greed, perversion, and alI-consuming hatred as they vie for power, over the family business and over one another. The heightened performances and Visconti’s luridly expressionistic use of TechnicoIor conjure a garish worId of decaying opuIence in which one family’s downfall comes to stand for the moraI rot of a nation.
