Des Lebens Herrlichkeit (1970)

Des Lebens Herrlichkeit: Directed by Enrico Maria Salerno. With Florinda Bolkan, Tony Musante, Toti Dal Monte, Sandro Grinfan. Without mentioning the reason, Venetian musician Enrico invites his ex-wife Valeria to visit him, and her heart is broken again during their last days together.

“A beautiful film that made a great impression on me at a very early age. Although basically it is a love story, it has many other emotions which are wonderfully portrayed by Florinda Balkan and Tony Musante. Apart from the story, the theme music haunted me for months if not years. The photography of Venice is superb and will be appreciated by anyone who has ever visited there.”
