Countess Livia Serpieri (Alida Valli) falls deeply in love with Franz Mahler (Farley Granger), an Austrian lieutenant. She betrays her country by stealing funds collected to aid the resistance and giving them to Franz so that he can bribe his way out of service. When she rendezvous with the lieutenant, she finds a drunken, ungrateful rogue who has used her only for her money, in what is perhaps among the most psychologically disturbing scenes ever filmed. Her revenge is swift and decisive, and though severe, quite believable. This 1954 film from Luchino Visconti (The Damned, Death in Venice) is a complex depiction of human passions and the destruction they can wreak, set against the larger destruction of war. A simple story told against the backdrop of countries at war, it belongs to the same genre as Reds and Doctor Zhivago, and is definitely worth viewing. --James McGrath Customers who bought this item also bought Ossessione Cinema Paradiso (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) Before the Revolution Blow Up Customer Reviews for: Senso (Italian version w/ English Subtitles) Rating - An epic romance from post war Italy I have rated this film 4 only because of it's length, there are some ponderous moments, but otherwise it is a 5.

Lavishly produced and superbly photographed. When many people expected Visconti continued his variants about the Neo Realist tendency (La terra trema, Bellisima) the director withdrew deliberately to face a work epoch, placed in the War between Italy and Austrian, with the Venetian territory in dispute(1866). The three points of support for Senso will be then, the Great Italian Opera, ... Read More Rating - Be Careful Before You Buy This! Last year I spent over $55.00 for a pristine, still shrink wrapped copy of Senso on dvd. What I DIDN'T originally know was that the dvd was multiregional, coming from Brazil, in the original Italian language with subtitles ONLY in Portugese! Unless you are fluent in either Italian or Portugese, you will be spending a high price on a dvd you will never watch. If the Amazon.com Seller had notified me before my purchase that the dvd had no English subtitles before they so willingly took my money, of course I would ...
