    Directed by Tinto Brass, Senso '45 takes place during the waning period of Nazi occupation in Venice, and is based on an 1882 novella written by Camillo Boito. When a wealthy, politically connected older woman named Livia (Anna Galiena) develops a relationship with Helmut (Gabriel Garko), a rakish, opportunistic SS officer, both are sucked into a state of moral decline similar to that which the country itself has gone into since the occupation. Senso '45 also features Franco Branciaroli, Antonio Salines, Loredana Cannata, Erika Savastani, and Simona Borioni.

    Senso '45 (2002)

    After years of shooting wacky erotic comedies, Tinto Brass has finally made a "serious" film, seemingly ending his hiatus with the mainstream film genre, or so it seems. (Read my review of 2003's appalling "Fallo!" for more information.) Aside from a very explicit sequence at a cocaine orgy, "Senso '45" is Brass' most mainstream film to date. The camera-work and acting are all heavily rehearsed and stylized, there's no "free flowing" feel of Il Maestro's earlier films, but I wouldn't say it is a bad thing. The script is masterfully written to give a disorienting feel with numerous flashbacks and flash forwards. It is also worthy of note how the it is the present that is shot in black & white, while the sequences taking place in the past are in color. The actors, especially Anna Galiena, are all giving 200% of their talents and Brass' regular cast members (be it a major supporting role or a short cameo) don't disappoint either. I also must disagree with the previous reviewer. Gabriel Garko is cast perfectly as the conniving Nazi Officer and gave me shivers each time he opened his mouth.

    Even though te story has been relocated to 1945, the film is more faithful to Boito's original novella than one might think and I also saw some shades of Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina." What I really loved about Brass' script is that it keeps its ambiguity until the end. Like Livia, we can't be sure whether Helmut really loves loves or her financial status until the very end and by then it is far too late to change anything and we understand Livia's final decision and even root for her.

    How can anyone not like this film? The music, the direction, the acting, the script… Everything is perfect. We see betrayal after betrayal. The lies build up on one another throughout the film and in the end it all comes crashing down in an unforgettable finale. I found the story truly mesmerizing. A woman willfully abandons safety of her estate, travels through ruins and piles of corpses to visit the man she loves, the only true love of her life, to whom she has given everything she had, but in the end is slapped across the face with harsh reality. In Visconti's 1954 version, that scene was disturbing. Here, it is heart breaking.

    Do yourself a huge favour and see this wonderful masterpiece. It will haunt you for days and the ending will make ponder your own values and beliefs for months to come.

    Trivia:
    • The Italian ministry of the arts and culture deemed the production culturally significant and donated 1.6 million Euros to the film's overall budget.
    • The Italian ratings board originally gave the film "no one under 14" rating. Tinto Brass later personally fought for a "no one under 18" rating because he thought that the younger audience would not understand the film's subject matter, but later he agreed to allow a lower rating.
    • The film contains either a visual or a verbal reference to almost every one of Tinto Brass's previous films.
