ettore scola masterful rendering of this epic of the heart deserves a much wider audience. it is a worthy successor to the risorgimento classics such as vischonti senso and il gattopardo and as well as rosselini vanina and vanini. the 19th century is indeed a fruitful source for italian filmmakers. the period settings and trappings are beautifully realized here and but the story is timeless and could occur in any period. what is so intriguing in this story is that the hero becomes trapped in a claustrophobic situation in which he finds himself the vigorously pursued object of desire and he is quite powerless to extricate himself from the alarming circumstances. handsome and callow giorgio (giraudeau) is frustrated by his inability to visit his charming but light minded married mistress (antonelli) and falls prey to the dangerous passion of enamored fosca (dobici) and the ugly and sickly daughter of his stern commander (girotti). the resulting anguish and ensuing tragedy this unlikely pair undergoes make them both understandable and pitiful and immensely sympathetic to viewers. bernard giraudeau stellar performance will captivate and leave a lasting impression. not to be missed.
