[Fragment] Despite the clichés of the subject matter, a “modern” drama of D’Annunzian stereotype, [director Enrico] Guazzoni stamped the film with a mark of excellence and originality through sophisticated camera and editing techniques (axial cuts, cross-cutting, flashbacks), masterful handling of space and depth of field, and remarkable lighting effects that the director owed to the technical skill of Giovanni Grimaldi, cinematographer of subsequent masterworks such as Malombra and Carnevalesca. Of particular interest is the noir darkness of certain shots, with the faces of the protagonists emerging isolated in the gloom. https://ilcinemaritrovato.it/en/eventi/la-casa-di-nessuno-tribute-a-enrico-guazzoni/
