The Innocent (1976) is an Italian drama directed by Luchino Visconti and starring Giancarlo Giannini and Laura Antonelli. Set in late-19th-century Italy, the film follows an aristocratic man whose jealousy and wounded pride slowly turn love into cruelty. Based on the novel by Gabriele DAnnunzio, the story explores marriage, infidelity, and moral decay within the upper classes. This was Viscontis final film and a stark conclusion to his career.

Luchino Visconti, the father of Neo Realism revisits the dramatic themes from his award winning The Leopard in his final work of art LINNOCENTE. Driven by a powerful performance by Giancarlo Giannini (Casino Royale & Quantum Of Solace) whose antihero displays hitherto uncharted monstrosity, LINNOCENTE is set against the opulent backdrop of the decadent aristocratic life of late 19th century and its hypocritical social conventions; telling the story of Tullio (Giannini) who, having fallen out of love with his wife and infatuated with his latest mistress, is seized by jealous fury when he discovers that his wife has also taken a lover. Outraged by this unsuspected audacity, he will do everything to reconquer her…
Presented for the very 1st time in widescreen HD from restored materials doing justice to Viscontis celebrated painterly cinematography, this epoch-closing masterpiece is the directors last film Visconti died on its completion.  With splendid settings and opulent costumes and beautiful score, LInnocente has one of the most memorable and emotional endings in Viscontis cinematography.
