The Innocent and the Damned: The films of Luchino Visconti is now showing at GOMA
Born into the luxuriance of Milanese aristocracy, Visconti would nevertheless begin his career by crafting deeply sympathetic portrayals of the downtrodden in early neorealist classics. His work would adopt a newfound resplendence with the vividly envisioned costume drama Senso 1954 – a milieu to which he would repeatedly return, most celebratedly in his Palme d’Or winning masterpiece The Leopard 1963.

This is the kind of film that will be an audience hit as it provides all the components of a good ...

The play features a very clever stage set up that appears very simple at first only to surprise with a depth of application. The use of stage props is excellent throughout as well. There are interludes of song that buttress the work with a fresh approach.
Dressing the cast in skinny jeans and Chuck Taylors and doing away with the trappings of time and opulence ...
