Synopsis

As befits a movie about acting, Bellocchio's "free adaptation" of Pirandello's 1921 play brings together two great stars of the Italian cinema: Marcello Mastroianni, as a scholar who has lived for 20 years under the trauma-induced delusion that he is the 11th-century Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, and Claudia Cardinale, as the aristocratic woman he loved before his accident.

Role-playing abounds as Henry's psychiatrist concocts an elaborate scheme to shock him out of his medieval reverie: he'll be forced to confront both his lady love as she is in the present, and as she was in the romantic past, as embodied by her look-alike daughter.

The use of repetitive and uninspired musical motifs in the film's soundtrack became tiresome and distracting. Instead of enhancing the narrative or characters, the music felt like an afterthought, failing to capture the intricacies of the psychological drama portrayed on screen.
