Luchino Visconti’s White Nights (4K Restoration)

Marcello Mastroianni, as a lonely city transplant, and Maria Schell, as a sheltered girl haunted by a lover’s promise, meet by chance on a canal bridge and begin a tentative romance that quickly entangles them in a web of longing and self-delusion. Luchino Visconti’s WHITE NIGHTS is an exquisite adaptation of Dostoevsky’s legendary novella, transforming this romantic, shattering tale of two restless souls into a ravishing black-and-white dream. Restored by Luce Cinecittà, from the original 35mm negative

“MASTROIANNI’S PERFORMANCE IS A DELIGHT.” – Screen Slate

“A crucial turning point, the link between Visconti’s early neorealist manner and the obsessive stylization of his late films.” – Chicago Reader
