Está triste Venecia: Anónimo veneciano (Enrico Maria Salerno, 1970)

Abstract

Anonimo veneziano (Enrico Maria Salerno, 1970), was a very successful film in its time, but now is unjustly forgotten. With a minimal and romantic plot, the city is its main character, and avoids perfectly the common touristic stereotypes of other films set in Venice. Script, staging, rhythm and music interacting to create a melancholic atmosphere, a sad emotion and an aura of mortuary, which impregnates completely the film.
