Even his real voice adds to the luridness of his character. Magnificent in her over the top understatement. She's a pervert's mother if I ever saw one. After Ingman Bergman, Visconti gives her her most showy role. Ingrid Thulin's hairstyles are a masterpiece on their own. Visconti's extraordinary attention to detail requires more than a couple of viewings. There is, however, a slight but disturbing enjoyment of the whole putrid thing.
The setting this time is National Socialist Germany where the perversions find their perfect home. The great Luchino Visconti concocts a stunning banquet of horrors with some of his favorite gourmet dishes: the corruption and decadence of the upper classes, incest, mamma's boys and monstrous/fascinating mothers.
