L' innocente (1976)

"L' innocente" is Luchino Visconti's final film, a lush period drama steeped in obsession, betrayal, and the suffocating manners of Italian aristocracy. At its center is Laura Antonelli, whose performance carries much of the film's simmering sensuality alongside its emotional wreckage. The archive holds 2 scenes from the film, capturing her nude and exposed in moments that lean into the story's themes of desire and possession. Visconti stages it all with the same opulence he brought to his best work, letting the camera linger on Antonelli as much as on the gilded rooms around her.
