3 Things

Senso [1954]

1. He lifts her veil to kiss her, but only lifts it high enough to uncover her lips.
2. She sits down in a chair. He rushes over to her, kneels at her feet and rests his head in her lap. Meanwhile he scoops up the coins that have fallen to the floor. He adjusts the position of his body slightly in order to collect more coins, all the while keeping his head in her lap.
3. When Franz is dragged away at the end, he keeps his face covered with his arm. From shame? Embarrassment?
