Suggestionata is a 1978 Italian drama film directed by Alfredo Rizzo and starring Eleonora Giorgi and Gabriele Ferzetti. [1]
An engineer, a wealthy professional, and a former fascist, returns to Italy to reclaim his land. Widowed with three young children, he forms a voluntary bond with a young and alluring woman. Influenced by the political and social discussions of her father, which she had heard when she was just thirteen, she orchestrates a situation in which she isolates herself with her lover's children and leads them into the moral abyss in which she finds herself. The protagonist will thus find himself facing a series of crimes, without even understanding whether they are motivated by political revenge or material gain. [2]
Eleonora Giulia Amalia Duse, often known simply as Duse, was an Italian actress, rated by many as the greatest of her time. She performed in many countries, notably in the plays of Gabriele d'Annunzio and Henrik Ibsen. Duse achieved a unique power of conviction and verity on the stage through intense absorption in the character, "eliminating the self" as she put it, and letting the qualities emerge from within, not imposed through artifice.
