    The overall characteristic is more obviously a noir film, and it seems that there is not much realism to be found. The characters of the hero and heroine are exquisitely set: the hero loves freedom, and those who love freedom must be honest, and honest people cannot bear the repression of living in a lie; the heroine is greedy for money and beauty, and tired of her simple but rude husband, With a single thought, they walked into the crazy labyrinth hand in hand with the male protagonist. There...

    I didn't go to the Film Archive when it was released, I watched it on YouTube tonight. It looks good, I like this kind of tangled love story that is doomed to death. The beautiful and seductive bodies of the male and female protagonists are shown as realistically as the towns and markets along the Po River. It is said to be the earliest representative of neo-realism, but Visconti's use of lenses is still much more complex and delicate than other typical neo-realism films. It is indeed a bit of...

    "The Postman Always Rings the Bell Twice" has a special flavor when moved to an Italian background. Opera singing competitions, watching lively events on the street, and priests playing soy sauce are all very life-like. They also compare men who want to be on the road and women who want stability with Struggling to shoot really well. Events proceeded with an Italian sense of irrational motivation and fatalism. Or Nazi era...

    "The Sinking", this pioneering work is not only an adaptation of the famous American noir novel, but also not just a transfer of the novel scene to the Bocheng Plain in Italy. In Visconti's film we are in a very delicate transition, feeling the beginning of the transmutation of the general concept...

    "The Sinking": Is it really the pioneering work of Italian neorealism?

    In 1941, Visconti shot "The Sinking", and the film was released after the war. After that, it was basically known as "the pioneering work of Italian neorealist film".

    But after watching the film for more than two hours, I found that the influence of this film on later generations is not limited to...
