The film tells the story of the decline and disappearance of a steel family during the rise of the Nazis in Germany in 1933. The family is filled with hatred and murderous intent, as the elderly patriarch is murdered, leading the family members to engage in a life-and-death struggle for the inheritance... This film is an epic that uses one family to reflect the grand history of a nation. It is the most mature and grand work by Visconti. The director utilizes a dark historical backdrop to depict the intrigues, conspiracies, hypocrisy, and power struggles among family members, while extensively portraying the debauchery of Nazi Brownshirts, as well as the conflicts and massacres between the Brownshirts and Blackshirts. The content also involves moral tragedies such as incest between mother and son and patricide. Visconti elevates the brutal reality of power and desire leading to the degradation, obliteration, and alienation of humanity to the heights of Greek tragedy, suggesting that the fascists' lust for world domination is fundamentally the reason for their inhumanity. The performances by the actors are outstanding, particularly Dirk Bogarde's perfect portrayal.
