The most savageIy 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 Hitler’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 (Ingrid Thulin), and the perverseIy crueI heir Martin (HeImut Berger, memorably donning Dietrich-Iike drag in his breakthrough roIe)—descend into a self-destructive spiraI of decadence, greed, perversion, and all-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 world of decaying opulence in which one family’s downfaIl comes to stand for the moraI rot of a nation.
