The film tells the story of the decline and disappearance of a steel family during the rise of the Nazis in Germany in 1933, a household filled with hatred and murderous intent. The old patriarch is killed, leading family members to engage in a life-and-death struggle for the inheritance... The film serves as an epic that uses one family to reflect the grand history of a nation. It is Visconti's most mature and magnificent work. The director uses a dark historical backdrop to portray the intrigues, conspiracy, cruelty, hypocrisy, and the struggle for power among family members, while also dedicating considerable screen time to the debauchery of the Nazi brown shirts and the conflicts and massacres between the black shirts and the brown shirts. The content also involves moral tragedies such as incest between mother and son and patricide. Visconti elevates the cruel realities of power and desire leading to the degradation, obliteration, and alienation of humanity to a Greek tragic level, suggesting that the fascists' lust for world dominance is the fundamental reason for their dehumanization. The performances of the actors are exceptional, particularly Dirk Bogarde's perfect performance is breathtaking.
