L'Innocente (1976)
The 1976 film L'Innocente, directed by Luchino Visconti, is a classic Italian drama that explores the sexual repression of the upper class in 19th century Italy. The film follows the story of Tullio Hermil, a wealthy aristocrat who is married to Giuliana, a woman who is not sexually satisfied by her husband. As Tullio's marriage begins to unravel, he finds himself drawn to a young, beautiful woman named Angelica, who is the daughter of his mistress.
The film is filled with sexual moments that explore the power dynamics between the characters. One of the most memorable scenes is when Tullio and Angelica meet for the first time. Tullio is immediately taken with Angelica's beauty and innocence, and he begins to make advances towards her. Angelica is initially hesitant, but eventually succumbs to Tullio's advances. The scene is filled with sexual tension and desire, and it is clear that Tullio is in control of the situation.
Another powerful sexual moment in the film is when Tullio and Giuliana finally come together. After months of sexual repression, Giuliana finally gives in to her husband's advances. The scene is filled with passion and desire, and it is clear that Giuliana is finally able to let go of her inhibitions and embrace her sexuality.
The film also explores the power dynamics between Tullio and Angelica. Throughout the film, Angelica is portrayed as a victim of Tullio's advances, and it is clear that she is not in control of the situation. This is highlighted in a scene where Tullio forces himself on Angelica, and she is unable to resist. This scene is particularly powerful, as it shows the power imbalance between the two characters and the consequences of Tullio's actions.
Overall, L'Innocente is a powerful exploration of sexual repression and power dynamics in 19th century Italy. The film is filled with sexual moments that explore the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of sexual repression.
During a scene in the men's locker room, a man is seen naked showering. Nudity includes full frontal.
Two scenes feature female frontal nudity--both also with a man--though in one the man is naked, the other he is clothed. In the first, the couple is fully naked, sweating and obviously caressing each other--it lasts about 1-2 minutes. The second the man pulls a nightgown off the woman and feels her breasts. About the same length as the other scene. Explicit nudity includes male and female pubic hair, female full frontal, and male full frontal save for his genitals due to position.
