Seeing Luchino Visconti's "Gruppo di famiglia in un interno" many years later

Lately, I had the opportunity to watch again Luchino Visconti's movie "Gruppo di famiglia in un interno" which I had seen many years ago. Upon re-watching the movie, I found it to be still relevant and interesting, especially for individuals who enjoy thought-provoking cinema. The movie has a modern structure and well-crafted dialogues, making it a timeless classic. However, the use of obscene language in the movie is dated and not as impactful as in our contemporary times. The theme of "scandal", the central theme of the movie, revolving around the character of Konrad (played by Helmut Berger), a gigolo and a double agent who is both a criminal and an informer, is also somewhat dated. I believe that the level of evil and crime in today's world was not even imaginable during Visconti's time.

The movie features great performances by Silvana Mangano and Burt Lancaster (stratospheric), with the young (at that time) Claudia Marsani and Stefano Patrizi also delivering good performances. It was surprising to see an accomplished actor like Romolo Valli relegated to a small and insignificant role in the movie.

I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys sophisticated and intelligent movies.
