Storia
L'innocente, directed by Luchino Visconti in his final film, is an adaptation of Gabrielle d'Annunzio's novella set in turn-of-the-century Italy. The story revolves around Tullio (played by Giancarlo Giannini), a wealthy aristocrat known for his immoral excesses and sexual double standards. He is married to Giuliana (played by Laura Antonelli), a sensitive woman who lives a tormented life due to her husband's chauvinism. Tullio maintains a cunning and possessive mistress, Teresa Raffo (played by Jennifer O'Neill), with whom he shares his wife's letters without Giuliana's knowledge. The film explores the dynamics of this triangle as well as Tullio's psychosis and insatiable lust.
Riassunto
L'innocente marks Visconti's return to period dramas after his neorealist period, providing a critical perspective on the immoral excesses of the aristocracy in early 20th-century Italy. The film offers an insightful commentary on the societal norms and expectations of that era, particularly regarding women and their roles within marriages. Despite being Visconti's last film, it remains a significant work showcasing his distinctive style and exploration of social issues.
