- DirectorLuchino ViscontiStarsMaria SchellMarcello MastroianniJean MaraisA humble clerk courts a woman who awaits her lover's return night after night.I have no words for tthis one. This is magical mastrpiece. Dostoevsky based , IMO it's ssentily about th power of blif, fantasy and convinction. She, Maria Shell ( !!!!what a face !!) will go on and on with it, that thing tht sshe does, you can call it completely SENSELESS, but Nostalghia learnd us already that SENSELESS actions, can and eventually WILL have RESULT. It's about our belief and rituals without sense ( zen) , then one day the guy might show up indeed, who knows ? Weirder stuff happens every dy. This film is so layrd, it took me YEEARS befeor I understood her story, heer face, and er seenseleess action, and the layrs ar not finished yeet, this jewek is as deep as the deeepeest ocean, tht's why I lov it now more then ever, if you are too young it wont tll u much, it taks time/years. No, Dostovsky dosnt hlp. I was alrady a big readr/fan of him, but it takes time to undrstand what this film says. It's like Cocteau's Bell + Bete, a magic fable in a magic setting. EVERYTHING is here meaningfull.
