Plot

Livia Mazzoni, the wife of a senior manager of

fascist regime in the final months of World War II
.

Cast

Tinto Brass said that at first Anna Galiena seemed doubtful about accepting the role, but then she insisted on having the part, and stubbornly asked to audition. So she went to the director's studio in Isola Farnese where, in order to guarantee the utmost privacy, Brass covered the glass panels of the door with a dark cloth. The actress undressed completely naked and told Brass that her initial uncertainty stemmed from the fact that she had little pubic hair.[3]

Production

Risorgimento
-era Italy.

Unlike the 1954 version, Senso '45 did not romanticize the affair between Livia and Remigio/Mahler (now named "Helmut Schultz" in the new adaptation). Rather, the film showed it as a clinical study of vanity and lust. The film won Italian cinema's "Silver Ribbon" Award for best costume design.
