What Malombra Is About

In the nineteenth century, an Italian noblewoman shut up in a gloomy lakeside palazzo by her uncle comes to believe that the spirit of a woman who lived there long ago has entered her. Mario Soldati’s hundred and thirty five minute film was adapted from the novel by Antonio Fogazzaro, with Renato Castellani and Ettore Maria Margadonna among the writers. The production belongs to calligrafismo, the movement in early 1940s Italian cinema known for its devotion to form; critics of the day counted that against it, while later years came to regard the same care as the film’s strongest quality. Isa Miranda, Andrea Checchi and Irasema Dilián star.
