Visconti and I never really got along - his world of actors darlings in authentic backdrops, social commentaries, morality that suffers from many taboo topics, grand gestures and vanity observed as if from the safe distance of the director's chair from the detached intellectual... That's not the world I want to deal with. However, the ideas here on how to tame the stoic Burt Lancaster, the dissolute Helmut Berger, and the eloquent Silvana Mangano are quite attractive to the audience. If it weren't for the chilling irony inserted at times, it would have been impossible to experience it.
