Conversation Piece: A Film by Luchino Visconti (2014)

Hardcover, 240 pages · Rizzoli/Fendi

A lavishly produced volume celebrating Luchino Visconti’s Conversation Piece (1974), his sharp critique of Europe’s fading aristocracy and the jet set, often compared to Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. Featuring Burt Lancaster, Silvana Mangano, and Helmut Berger, the film’s elegance and decadence are mirrored in this beautifully designed book, which showcases opulent set designs and Fendi’s costume creations. Includes behind-the-scenes essays, archival documents, and reflections on Visconti’s collaboration with the fashion house.

This edition also contains a DVD of the newly restored film, accompanied by a DVD with interviews and bonus material exclusive to this release.

Condition: Very good. Minor shelf-wear to cover.
