M | 154 Mins | 1969 | 35mm | ITL, GER, SWI | D: Luchino Visconti

An unflinching and darkly symbolic portrayal of a family of decadent steel magnates as its members scramble for personal power during Hitler’s rise.

Set in the 1930s, The Damned is a stark exploration of power, greed, and fascism, with Visconti’s bold direction amplifying the chilling descent into corruption.

‘The Damned is ultimately an attempt to explore in concrete historical and psychological terms the price of complicity and the results of an untrammelled lust for power.’ – Slant Magazine
