We are joined by Manish Mathur fom the It Pod to Be You podcast to talk about the sweeping historical melodrama SENSO, which comes courtesy of Luchino Visconti, one of the most fascinating Italian directors. In this tale of doomed romance set during the time of Italian unification, a Venetian Countess falls in love with an (enemy) Austrian officer. It's grand, sweeping, operatic - it's cinema!
