The Damned (Criterion Collection)

In late-'30s Germany, a clan of wealthy industrialists had begun to do business with the Nazi Party. The night the Reichstag burned, the family's Hitler-hating patriarch was assassinated-and their slow degeneration over the ensuing years would reflect the decadence and perversion that accompanied the rise of the Third Reich. Luchino Visconti's graphic and shocking chronicle stars Dirk Bogarde, Ingrid Thulin, Helmut Greim, Helmut Berger, Charlotte Rampling. 157 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: Italian mono, German and English mono; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In Italian with English subtitles.
