[W]ith Visconti turning to music and voiceover to crank up the emotions. He also makes highly inventive use of the Venetian settings.
Sight and Sound
Not usually seen as one of the cinema's great romantics, Visconti with "Senso" made a film that both celebrated and mocked the very idea of romantic love, and the film remains resolutely itself after all these years.

Los Angeles Times
Visconti observes it all in coolly elegant long takes....Theatrically dressed boudoirs highlight the deceptive lover's penchant for performance...
Film Comment
Rating: 4/5 --
Gorgeously upholstered by flashing, decadent passions and over-the-top operatics.

Senso is lush, broadly emotional and beautifully photographed.

Chicago Sun-Times
[T]his beautifully shot film about the deranging power of mad, doomed love certainly has a history that makes it qualify as what the French call a film maudit, a cursed film.
Los Angeles Times
...SENSO is a photographic dream....A contender for the most beautiful color film ever...
