S R A moving romance that shows the tragedy of obsessive love. Well made and it still resonates. Good acting and direction. It was on CRI. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the first listed of many films claiming it as a source or inspiration. Most recently 'Two Lovers' took full advantage of Joachim Phoenix's abilities with this material. 'Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time', Maya Angelou. Here's a lesson plan on that. The song asks, 'Why do fools fall in love?'; maybe just because those that appear wise are more cautious Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review dave s Luciano Visconti's beautiful Le Notti Bianche served as a transition film from his early days in the Italian neorealist school to the more stylistically tightly structured films he was ultimately best known for. Le Notti Bianche follows the story of Mario (Marcello Mastroianni), a loner wandering the dark alleys of a new town, who meets Natalia (Maria Schell), a sheltered young woman waiting for her love to return after a year's absence. Dealing with unrequited love, among other things, the movie is a visual joy to watch. Each shot is gorgeously composed, the black and white cinematography is stunning, and the lighting is spectacular. There are a couple of scenes that drag (the dance scene in the café, for example), but, overall, the film is an excellent primer for the Visconti films that followed. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member From the different good routes the movie could have taken, it choses not the best one. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 'The white nights' is a very fragile exquisite tale based on story of Dostoievsky. With the images extremely beautiful it tells the story of an ordinary young man Mario, who met an unusual, like from another century girl, fell in love with her and almost made her fall in love too... Visconti and Dostoyevsky--Here two different worlds collide unambiguously - the modern, cold, indifferent stylized world and the old, more intimate and hearty one, and this collision makes many ironical and sad situations... Reflect reality as well as a dream that falls a bit short!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member this story about a guy who meets a girl on a bridge has been done done and over done but works well here Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
