CONVERSATION PIECE 4K Restored Edition [Special Price]

[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 a sea of lost things. 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, an actor who was a favorite of Visconti's at the time, both publicly and privately. 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. The film tells the story of an elderly professor (B. Lancaster) who lives alone in an upscale residential neighborhood in Rome, 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 of staying with them, and they rent a room upstairs and take up residence...
