Reviews for Senso
Triumphs on the strength of [Alida Valli's] presence..you'd have to go very far to find a more luscious movie.
Visconti counterposes romance and rebellion in this historical tale of love and betrayal.
It is an obvious, rudimentary operatic approach to amour and an illustration of history that is likely to be fuzzy to anyone but a student of Garibaldi's 1866 campaign in and around Venice and Verona.
A lush, melodramatic portrait of seduction and betrayal, decadence and deceit in the midst of Italy's resistance to Austrian occupation in the mid-19th century.
