visconti's world




i want to live in a luchino visconti movie. 
be surrounded by luxurious houses, beautiful people, expensive art pieces. i want to be among his handsome leading men like helmut berger and alain delon. i want to be in his films like conversation piece (a favourite), ludwig, death in venice, the damned, rocco and his brothers.


(watch these clips from conversation piece and see what i mean:)







most of visconti's movies are all about the very rich in italian society, the counts and the duchesses. (which is not surprising because he was an aristocrat himself, a count.) they live in those grand palaces, wear the most fabulous outfits and live such decadent lives.
his men, in particular, are always young and gorgeous, just like his lover helmut berger.
berger is among the sexiest men to ever appear on film along with alain delon.








every time i feel the blues, i turn to visconti's cinema.
a glimpse of the once angelic, almost godlike mr. berger dissipates the pain.
only to hunt me back once the film is over.
and that ladies, gentlemen, pa-ladies  and paminta is the irony of lyf!
