介绍：This utterly gorgeous Gothic melodrama would be widely hailed as a masterpiece, had it not been made in Italy during the Mussolini regime. A gross injustice, as Malombra - unlike Piccolo Mondo Antico, Mario Soldati's earlier film of an Antonio Fogazzaro novel - contains not one moment of triumphalist flag-waving or Fascist family values. Oddly akin to Rebecca in its atmosphere of death-haunted romance and voluptuous doom, it reaches a peak of visual refinement of which Hitchcock could only dream.　　Its star is Isa Miranda (famous, and not without reason, as Italy's answer to Garbo and Dietrich) playing a headstrong but unstable young noblewoman, confined by her uncle to a gloomy villa on the shores of Lake Como. A yellowed and crumbling letter, found in an old spinet, convinces her that she is the reincarnation of her uncle's first wife - another troubled beauty who died a virtual prisoner after being caught in a forbidden love affair. When a handsome young writer (Andrea Checchi) comes to stay, Miranda decides that HE is the reincarnation of the dead woman's lover. Gradually, she lures him into her web of sex and revenge...　　What more to say without spoiling the fun Miranda gives a performance to rival any of the great divas of Hollywood. Only Davis and Stanwyck, perhaps, could play a bad girl so boldly without losing all sympathy. The evocation of 19th century aristocracy, in its full decadent splendour, is visually and dramatically flawless - a model for such later Italian gems as Visconti's Senso and The Innocent.　　It helped, perhaps, that Soldati himself was a leading novelist. Blessed with an absolute respect for the classics he adapted, but in no way inhibited by them. He was also the guiding spirit of the now-forgotten 'calligraphic' movement, which brought the Italian cinema to such wondrous aesthetic heights during World War Two, only to collapse before the horror of Neo-Realism. Can we blame Soldati for giving up film-making in disgust and going back to writing novels　　So if you've ever felt (as I do) that Rossellini's much-touted Rome - Open City is the work of an amateur...well, Malombra is the film you have to see!

介绍：1600年的意大利，才华横溢、狂放不羁的画家卡拉瓦乔（里卡多·斯卡马乔 Riccardo Scamarcio 饰），因为杀死仇家拉努丘而遭判死刑长期资助他的柯隆纳伯爵夫人（伊莎贝尔·于佩尔 Isabelle Huppert 饰）特地为他向教宗求情，教宗在左右为难下，决定派遣密探“影子”（路易·加瑞尔 Louis Garrel 饰）追查真相，确定是否该赦免亡命天涯的卡拉瓦乔。 “影子”衔教宗之命展开追查，却发现柯隆纳伯爵夫人暗中将卡拉瓦乔窝藏在那不勒斯。他除逐一探询卡拉瓦乔的浪荡生活以及来往密切的友人，更召唤他的画坛仇敌巴里欧内（维尼乔·马尔基奥尼 Vinicio Marchioni 饰），一揭卡拉瓦乔不为人知的秘密与性向；却也对他集天才与堕落的傲世才华折服不已。罗马宏伟的新教堂刚刚落成，教宗属意由卡拉瓦乔绘制祭坛画像，并赐他骑士荣衔、意喻赦免。但卡...

介绍：一部204分钟长的电影，绝对需要磅礴浩大的题材在这点上，意大利导演马利欧·迈图纳的《我们相信》是做到了。三个年少的伙伴受19世纪20年代法国大革命的影响，决定献身于争取民主的革命事业。电影中以三个伙伴在三个不同时间段中发生的纠葛和经历作为主线，同时以小见大地展示了意大利王国的建国史。在这个过程中，三位好友由于个性和家庭背景不同，经历了各种曲折和恩怨，其中还有因为对革命事业的不同理解而手足残杀。这个磅礴的题材在老导演马利欧·迈图纳的操控下，画面气势恢弘，场景惊心动魄，但事实上它更适合被剪辑成一部电视连续剧，这样的话人物形象应该更为丰满和生动。
