This is a film heavily influenced by Visconti in both its world of aristocracy and fluid camera movements that move from almost set-piece theatrical blocks to lyrical open air vistas. We're back with our old friend the multi-generational upper-class family; ultra successful in business for several decades but now on the fringes of fragmentation to say nothing of crumbling from within as first the daughter then the mother step outside the boundaries of acceptable public moral behaviour and follow their libidos masquerading as their hearts. The acting is first rate across the spectrum, the settings are sumptuous and well photographed, the whole, strangely satisfying.
