Le Notti Bianche (Italian language, no subtitles)

Descripción

A chance encounter on a canal bridge results in a series of twilight rendezvous between a lonely city transplant (Marcello Mastroianni) and a sheltered woman (Maria Schell) haunted by a lover’s promise. Their hesitant courtship soon entangles both of them in a web of longing and self-delusion. Adapted from the Fyodor Dostoyevsky short story, director Luchino Visconti's Le Notti Bianche, shot in ravishing black and white, is a romantic, shattering tale of the restlessness of dreamers.
