Plus Novecento in '76 with Bertolucci, I'd really like to see this.

After having recently seen Helmut Berger screech his way across the screen as a whining sadist in *Beast with a Gun*, I just wasn't prepared for the depth and breadth of his performance here, for how perfectly he becomes a type, a character that seems both to be perfectly himself, perfectly familiar, yet freshly rendered in every next scene. Pretty great.

I'll never forget this film, a meditation on mortality I was watching when I learned the news that Ebert had died. It's exactly the kind of film Ebert taught me to love - subtle, adult, intelligent and rich in meaning and beauty. Lancaster gives one of his finest performances and Helmut Berger is a revelation. Dat mise-en-scene!

I rediscovered Burt in Visconti films. What a fine actor despite his hollywood background..wait he did have some good hollywood movies. But i believe Burt evolv in these foreign cinema especially with Visconti. Burt was breathtaking and his chemistry with Helmut was toxicating. Definitely worth talking about!

un professore d'altri tempi misura l'abisso di incomunicabilità che lo separa da una "famiglia" disgustosamente borghese, antipatica e invadente realizzando quanto pericolosa e tragica può essere la loro superficialità

Considered as Luchino Visconti’s “last will & testament”, “Gruppo Di Famiglia In Un Interno” (also known as “Conversation Piece”) is another magnificent Visconti film and a personal film that I appreciated in so many levels. "Gruppo Di Famiglia In Un Interno" is a idiosyncratic film that I will forever enjoy partly due to its grandeur, its beauty, its humor, its absurdity, its acerbic tone and message.

"Violência e paixão" é raro em vários aspectos: envolve decadência aristocrática, tema caro a Visconti, ativismo político- um 'estado de choque' entre direita e esquerda- e pitadas de libertinagem própria dos anos 70. Burt Lancaster, envelhecido mas alterego da 3ª idade do diretor, está ótimo no papel de 'professor', e Silvana Mangano como a marquesa sem pudores. A dublagem em inglês é mortal, mas o filme sobrevive.

Quite intriguing, yet something is missing to turn this into an absolutely satisfying movie experience. On a randome note, Helmut Berger is perfectly yummy.

Stefano Patrizi & Claudia Marsani are horrible, horrible, horrible actors...or just lost when they had to act in english...horrible! But still I enjoyed this a lot. Burt Lancaster! Helmut Berger!
