I’m just finishing up my own private #LuchinoVisconti mini #film festival: #roccoandhisbrothers #TheLeopard and the “German trilogy” of #TheDamned #Ludwig and #DeathinVenice - he’s fallen off the radar but he’s brilliant, painterly in his vision, and his autopsy of the nobility/privileged speaks well to the current political moment. #filmstudies #cinemastudies 🎥
