Join us for Luchino Visconti’s rarely screened, highly controversial, and incendiary masterwork of the banality of evil, the depravity of the aristocracy, and the encroaching influence of Nazi politicians. The Essenbecks are a wealthy family of rich industrialists in 1930s Germany who are looking to jockey their influence into the new Nazi regime. Through backstabbing, incest, murder, cross-dressing, and in-fighting they vie for the power over the family as the world outside changes forever. Hated by some, beloved by others, with an Oscar-nominated script, breathtaking cinematography and art direction, and a breakout role in a glittery corset by the legendary Helmut Berger (who was also Visconti’s partner), there has never been a more appropriate time to rediscover this chilling masterpiece of queer anti-fascist cinema!
