Eleven
years after The Leopard,
the revered Italian maestro Luchino Visconti reteamed with the
iconic Burt
Lancaster on the lavish Conversation Piece [Gruppo
di famiglia in un interno].
A
retired American professor (Lancaster)
lives a solitary and luxurious life in a house in Rome. His world takes
an
unexpected turn when he is forced to rent part of his house to a
countess and
her companions: a lover, a daughter and the daughter’s boyfriend.
Forced into
interaction with the unruly younger group, the professor’s growing
fascination
begins to stir the possibilities of a life he had previously kept at
arm’s
length.
A sumptuous,
grandly enjoyable
chamber drama with a wry sense of humour, Conversation Piece features
an international ensemble cast including Helmut Berger, Silvana
Mangano and Stefano Patrizi (with uncredited cameos by Claudia
Cardinale and Dominique Sanda). The Masters of Cinema
Series
is proud to present Visconti’s penultimate film in a new
dual-format
edition from a brand new 2K restoration.
