This week, a restored edition of Luchino Visconti’s 1976 drama L’Innocente made its North American Blu-ray debut. The final film from acclaimed Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti (Senso, Conversation Piece), L’Innocente stars Giancarlo Giannini (The Seduction of Mimi), Laura Antonelli (Gran Bollito) and Jennifer O’Neill (Summer of ’42).

In late 19th Century Italy, Tullio (Giannini), an insatiable aristocrat, grows bored with his timid wife Giuliana (Antonelli) and neglects her for his mistress, the wealthy widow Countess Teresa Raffo (O’Neill, whose voice is dubbed into Italian). After learning that Giuliana is having a torrid affair of her own, he becomes tormented by her infidelity and descends into a kind of destructive madness.

The Blu-ray and DVD editions of the romantic drama (which is based upon Gabriele d’Annunzio’s passionate 1892 novel) include a video essay and 16-page collectible booklet.
