Le Notti Bianche

Italian master Luchino Visconti gave Marcello Mastroianni his first leading role in this smashing film based on the short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky about two lonely people who have found and lost love, though not at the same time. Visconti and his excellent team of frequent collaborators that includes writer Suso Cecchi d'Amico, DP Giuseppe Rotunno, composer Nino Rota and designer Piero Tosi have created another impeccable masterpiece that still breathtaking and has not lost one bit of its power with a timeless tale. The cast includes Austrian actress Maria Schell and French legend Jean Marais. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
