Synopsis
In this study, the first to examine Luchino Visconti's entire works, Henry Bacon examines the films of one of Italy's pre-eminent filmmakers. Through analysis of his achievements, Visconti also emerges as a twentieth-century inheritor and renewer of the nineteenth-century narrative tradition, especially that of the novel and the opera., In this study, the first to consider Luchino Visconti's entire oeuvre, Henry Bacon examines the films of one of Italy's preeminent filmmakers against the cultural, historical, and biographical contexts in which they were made. Through analysis of his achievements, Visconti also emerges as a twentieth century inheritor and renewer of the nineteenth-century narrative tradition, especially that of the novel and the opera., In this study, the first to consider Luchino Visconti's entire works, Henry Bacon examines the films of one of Italy's pre-eminent filmmakers against the cultural, historical, and biographical contexts in which they were made.

    These were advertised as new, but I question the veracity of that claim. I have bought this item lots of times from other sellers. They have a plastic seal inside the container as well as wrapping on the outside of the container. These items arrived without either seal. It also appeared the jars were not completely full. I contacted the seller who insists they are new and unused, but it seems unlikely to me. They did offer to allow a return, but paying the shipping fee to return was not worth it
