Description: LUCHINO VISCONTI GRUPPO DI FAMILGLIA IN UN INTERNO (Coversation Piece) 2011 RARO VIDEO DVD LUCHINO VISCONTI'S AWARD WINNING CLASSIC (Italian Language Film) examines the solitary life of a retired American professor (BURT LANCASTER) who lives alone in a luxurious palazzo in Rome. When he is confronted by a vulgar Italian marchesa & her companions - her lover, her daughter and daughter's boyfriend - he is forced to rent them an apartment on the upper floor of his palazzo. Before long his quiet routine is turned upside down and the introverted professor becomes entangled in his tenants' marchinations. In the midst of this chaos each of the new neighbors' lives - including that of the professor himself = takes an unexpected but inevitable turn. Visconti's penultimate film, CONVERSATION PIECE marrks the culmination of his career as a master of Italian cinema. This film is about a lonely art collector (Burt Lancaster) who lives in Rome and how his life is changed when the wife of a rightist industralist, Marchesa Bianca Brumonti (Silvana Mangano), her gigolo Konrad (Helmet Berger), her precocious daughter and her daughter's boyfriend Stefano end up renting the upper portion of his luxurious apartment. He gets involved in the affairs of complete strangers much against his will and ends up being even lonlier than before. >>> "Lancaster is superb. Bonus features are a treat CineGeek heaven!" --DVD Verdict >>> "Highly Recommended. Conversation Piece, Luchino Visconti's penultimate movie, is a quiet, yet surprisingly warm, portrait of an unforeseen meeting of the generations... A complicated drama, Conversation Piece has plenty to say about cultural change, age, and human connections. It's a grand work from a master cinematic storyteller, an old film that has received new life via a very modern technology." --DVD Talk ** ITEM BRAND NEW, FACTORY SEALED, MINT CONDITION, IN SLIPCASE (Slipcase in VG condition - some wear).
