A reclusive retired professor (Lancaster) in Rome finds his quiet life upended when Countess Bianca (Mangano) and her eccentric family rent a floor of his mansion, bringing chaos—and a provocative young lover, Konrad (Berger). Despite Konrad’s brashness, the professor succumbs to his charms, sparking a strange, desire-driven bond. Visconti’s penultimate film, partially inspired by the director’s own relationship with young actor Berger, will be shown twice in a newly restored 4K DCP. The English-language version, featuring Lancaster’s own voice, will screen at 4 p.m. The Italian-language version screens at 7 p.m.
