In the wake of Hitler's ascent to power, the wealthy industrialist von Essenbeck family and their associates-- including the scheming social climber Friedrich (Dirk Bogarde), the conniving matriarch Sophie (Ingrid Thulin), and the cruelly deviant heir Martin (Helmut Berger, memorably donning Marlene Dietrich-like drag in his breakthrough role)-- descend into a self-destructive spiral of decadence, greed, perversion, and all-consuming hatred as they vie for power, over the family business and over one another. The heightened performances and Visconti's luridly expressionistic use of Technicolor conjure a garish world of decaying opulence in which one family's downfall comes to stand for the moral rot of a nation"--Container.English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH)English/German audio with optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH).DVD, wide screen (1.85:1) aspect ratio ; region 1; Dolby digital mono.
