	filmjourney.org : White Nights (of a Dreamer)
		Thanks to the extended "white night" dusks of Petersburg, however, the narrator ventures outside his home and encounters Nastenka, a lively and attractive young woman who seeks advice for her troubled relationship with another man who hasn't returned from an extended business trip.
		Filmed completely inside the studio, the film recreates the foggy canal-lined streets of Livorno and the rabble-rousing social outcasts who frequent its shadows.
		Both films are solid conceptions that work well on their own terms, and both deserve extended review as serious interpretations of Dostoevsky's classic text, a provocative critique of the cozy, secluded comfort of illusions.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Biography
		He directed only 13 films over the course of 40 years, but these films were in a category all their own, minimalist works that tended towards radical (and sometimes controversial) reinterpretations of such classical sources as Diderot, Dostoyevsky, and Tolstoy.
		The film, which revolved around a nun's love and self-sacrifice in the service of the rehabilitation of a fallen woman, showed early indication of the director's preference for a narrative composed of a series of short scenes, as well as a fascination with the details found in human skill and ritual.
		The film made evident his preoccupation with transcendence and spirituality (next to art, perhaps the greatest influence on Bresson's work was Catholicism) and was centered around the doomed priest's attainment of a state of grace.

	DVDFILE.COM: Nights Of Cabiria review
		It won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, and lead actress Giulietta Masina won or was nominated for at least three different awards for her sensitive portrayal of the lonely prostitute.
		The fl and white image, full-frame at 1.33:1, is solid with deep, dark fls and sharply rendered contrast and shadow delineation.
		As good as Nights of Cabiria is, and as glad as I am to have it in my collection, Criterion should have priced it at the lower price point reserved for lesser titles with few or no supplements ($29.95).

	Harvard Film Archive: Exisentialist Adaptations
		Based on a Dostoyevsky story, White Nights is a fascinating tale of the obsessive and complicated love affair between a reserved clerk (Marcello Mastroianni) and an enigmatic young woman (Maria Schell).
		The first film for which director Robert Bresson composed an entirely original script, this tale of a lonely young man who embarks on a career as a petty thief was to some extent inspired by Crime and Punishment.
		Filmed in 1959 through 1960, the incidents foreshadowed the hippie movement by several years.

		White Nights is based on an original, unique idea: Nikolai Rodchenko (played by Mikhail Baryshnikov), a Russian ballet dancer who defected from the Soviet Union eight years ago, finds himself trapped back in his motherland, as a result of an emergency airplane landing.
		The film takes its name from the phenemenon in the Arctic Circle of days and nights which are each theoretically six months in length.
		The movie was filmed in Finland under these odd conditions of stark illumination which parallel the inescapable omnipresence of the KGB.

	New York Press - ARMOND WHITE - Before The Devolution
		This was quite a feat after the many high-art film innovations of the 50s and 60s.
		White Nights (my favorite of Visconti's masterworks) pioneered psychology through extravagant visual means—a rarely appreciated achievement even though Bertolucci & co. took up Visconti's baton.
		Both films are equally audacious and visually sublime, but The Conformist was the one that the whole world began to imitate—pilfering its style and misunderstanding its content.

		Film Noir was coined after WW2, in France, to name these fl and white films dealing with gangsters, PIs and central characters struggling with a corrupted world; the term was specifically used for films having a content overpassing simple descriptions of violence or of the gangster world.
		Later, the HB/Noir type of films was to be found as well in cinematographic genres, totally different from the detective/mystery settings.
		The American film industry produces already so many low quality films of any genre, being promoted as top productions, that underlining all past and present real achievements of some film creators becomes an urgent necessity.

		After the police catch them stealing the film reels, the boys - already a handful for their overburdened mother - are shipped off to a strict Koranic school for discipline.

		The film is a paradox of sorts, showcasing interesting performances from Rossellini and Hines, two actors who have since been totally under-appreciated.
		The film shows beautiful moving scenes such as the one where a drunk Raymond opens himself up to Nilokai in a heartfelt tap-dance-backed-up monologue, giving an impressively moving and honest performance.
		So yes, in a time of a suppousedly "end of ideologies", "White Nights" is a movie that has a well established political posture and yet is also undeniably interesting and moving to watch and enjoy time and time again.

	White Nights (Le Notti Bianche) Film Review - Time Out Film
		Visconti's version of the Dostoievsky story - about the chance encounter of a couple as she is waiting in vain for her lover, and the obsessive, panic-stricken relationship which then develops between them - later filmed by Bresson as Four Nights of a Dreamer.
		Visconti traps his characters (three excellent performances) within a claustrophobic canal-side set, and the film is a series of brief walks, chases, attempted escapes, always frustrated.
		Shot as neo-realist high tragedy, the film offers its characters only one strange moment of escape from their night-time obsessions - a raucous, sexual, subversive scene in a dance-hall.

		Ultimately the film is marked by Polanski’s unshakable skepticism which lends tangible motivation to many of the play’s supernatural elements and furnishes a bleak denouement precluding any forecasts of equanimity.
		For Nunn, "Twelfth Night"'s study of gender has a decidedly modern resonance, which determined the film's style: "I felt the urge to make the content of the play seem real, and not pantomimic or stylized, so that the contrary extremes of sexual behavior in the central characters are seen in a believable social context.
		White Mane, made in 1953, is a somewhat more conventional narrative of a boy and the wild horse he saves from ranchers in the marsh country of Camargue in the south of France.

		Eighties pop/rock vocalist Marilyn Martin is best known for "Separate Lives," a 1985 duet with superstar Phil Collins that soared to number one on the pop charts and was heard in the film White Nights.
		When that single was burning up the charts and Martin was signed to Atlantic as a solo artist, there was plenty of reason to believe that she would become a major star herself.
		Born in Tennessee in 1954 but raised in Louisville, KY, Martin lived in Ohio when she was in her late teens and eventually settled in Los Angeles with her husband, guitarist Greg Droman.

		The other films I've seen are: The Godfather, Romeo & Juliet, Waterloo and Visconti's White Nights and the masterpiece Rocco e i Suoi Fratelli.
		I haven't seen "La Dolce Vita" yet, sadly (waiting, patiently, for the DVD...the film was shot in widescreen), but when I finally have a chance to view it, I'm almost positive it will become my favorite Fellini (and one of my favorite films of all-time).
		What I've seen of this film on a documentary (where all clips were letterboxed), is among the most beautifully photographed movies I've ever seen.

		Using shutter speeds of two to three minutes, Allee subjects his film to the kind of intense light that turns night into an unnatural day, producing images that seem to capture a state between times and seasons.

		This celebrated phenomenon of the White Nights is a source of much pleasure for St. Petersburgers, who, let's face it, get a bit of a rough ride in winter.
		As well as the inspiration for a fun-filled summer, the White Nights are also the inspiration behind St. Petersburg most famous cultural event, 'The Stars of the White Nights Festival', in which the city's finest musicians, opera singers and ballet dancers entertain the public for six glorious weeks.
		The exact opposite of the White Nights, for much of winter the sun creeps lacklustrely above the horizon, carves a small and pathetic arc across the sky before plummetting out of sight again for the next eighteen hours or so...
