As an evocation of the Italian Renaissance, this is a film so visually sumptuous that its only rival is Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet.
'La Cena delle Beffe' is Blasetti's film version of the opera and libretto of the same name about the fierce rivalry of two men over the beautiful courtesan Ginevra. When a cruel joke is played, revenge, violence, and tragedy are set in motion. An fascinating mix of lush photography, Shakespearean tragedy, raw lust, and violence.
