- Description:
- This renowned drama film marked the directorial debut of Luchino Visconti, clearly influenced by Jean Renoir and French realism, and paved the way for the advent of Neorealism, particularly in the unflattering way it depicts characters and environments. A vagrant arrives at an inn in a godforsaken town of the Po Valley, decides to stay, and becomes the lover of the owner's wife. She convinces her lover to kill her old and unwanted husband faking a car accident, but from that moment fear and regret torment the couple.
