Conversation Piece [4K Restored]

[Machine Translation] Pursue the beautiful! Re-released in a beautiful 4K restored version. The gorgeous world of master director Luchino Visconti. An aging university professor lives alone in a luxurious mansion in the suburbs of Rome, buried in the loss of his life. The intrusion of a family member into his life stirs up his life and his life... Visconti, who comes from an aristocratic family, projects himself onto the professor, and his life is critically and self-deprecatingly disrupted. Portrait of a Family" was made in 1974, in the last years of Visconti's life, and featured Helmut Burger, a favorite actor of Visconti's, both publicly and privately, at the time. It was first shown in Japan in 1978 at Iwanami Hall. Although Visconti had already passed away when the film was released, it was a long-running blockbuster hit and triggered a Visconti boom. --In an upscale residential area of Rome, an elderly professor (B. Lancaster) lives alone surrounded by the paintings in "Portrait of a Family". One day, a beautiful marchioness ( S. Mangano ), who calls herself Bianca Brumonti, and her family suddenly appear in his quiet and solitary life. They forcefully seduce the old professor, who has no intention to stay with them, and they rent a room upstairs and take up residence... ( 1974 Italian-French co-production ) Japanese subtitles by Akiko Sekiguchi, supervised by Kazuhiro Yanagisawa.
