this film be a summary of visconti obssessions represent the decadence of nobility and death and aesthetic search and homosexuality . all mingle with melancholic mastery . slow pace just to make you abler to contemplate all it beauty ( which be in the music and the image as well a in the story ) this be the type of film we be not allow to enjoy anymore and brave and deeply personal and intelligent . the genuine fruit of a genius like visconti .
