Quotes
Gianni Wald-Luzzati: Why can't you be honest for once? Did God tell you to become a nun? Did he tell you to get married and that would satisfy you? Did he tell you that nun's are sick with desire and frustration? That they're willing to mortify their flesh? Now, why must you torment yourself? Why should you fill so full of guilt? So wretched and alone?

Forbidden desire.

Great film about dark secrets and forbidden desire. Luchino Visconti depicts the life of a beautiful woman caught between her past and her present. Underneath her beauty she turns out to be filled with ugly and painful memories. Sandra (played by Claudia Cardinale) struggles with obscure feelings of guilt, alienation and questionable longings. After she takes her husband to her childhood home she finds herself thinking about her painful past. When her somewhat estranged brother shows up things turn out to be more obscure. Hidden secrets and feelings from the past seem to float to the surface once again. The o so beautiful Sandra turns out to be a complex and mysterious woman. A little more raw than most of Visconti's work, but still beautiful and authentic. A film about a woman struggling with her demons, both inside and outside of her.
