Sandra (1965) review

Sandra (Claudia Cardinale) goes back to her hometown in Italy for a celebration of her late father (who was executed in a concentration camp), but her brother Gianni (Jean Sorel) still has (incestuous) feelings for her which bothers her husband Andrew (Michael Craig).  This is Visconti playing around with the Electra mythology, but it allows its Freudian aspects to get just a little too silly: it starts out relatively even-keeled but then becomes unnervingly overwrought as Gianni's hysteria gets amplified.  I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but making the "unnatural" siblings Jewish - and blaming their "bad blood" for their sexual perversity - gives it an unwelcome anti-Semitic undertone.
