Featured review
Visconti outclasses three of his peers
The Visconti segment out-classes the De Sica, the Fellini and the Monicelli segments. The common factors of all the four segments are sex and money, sprinkled with humour. But Visconti shows his ability to infuse class and certain maturity.
The Visconti segment shows the Tomas Milian and Romy Schneider characters reading two wonderful books that seem to be out of place but are in some ways connected to the segment and Visconti's future projects/ideas: Lampedusa's "The leopard" and Robbe-Grillet's "Les Gommes" (The Erasers). By itself, the Visconti segment, based on Guy du Maupassant's short story "Au bord du lit" (At the Edge of the Bed). deserves a 8/10.
