Le Notti Bianche Blu-ray
'Le notti bianche' Director: Luchino Visconti (1957) Radiance Limited Edition Blu-ray | 4K restoration | Italian w/ English subtitles
One fateful night on the streets of Livorno, world-weary Mario bumps into Natalia, a visibly distressed young woman. As Mario attempts to comfort her, Natalia recounts the story of a lost love who she hears is back in town. In a bid to remain close to her, Mario reluctantly agrees to help Maria find him.
Adapted from a Fyodor Dostoyevsky short story, director Luchino Visconti (Senso, La terra trema) captures the agony and ecstasy of infatuation in this exquisite melodrama. Headlined by two stellar performances from Marcello Mastroianni and Maria Schell, and featuring Jean Marais.
