The Glass Mountain is about longing that knows no bounds and about carrying the one you love inside you. The hero carries one woman inside him, then another, and then, when he is with her, the first again. The film is compellingly acted and directed, the dialog so well written as to sharpen the mind, the score fabulously atmospheric. The result is hypnotic and poignant. Gobbi does some singing in mezza voce, something unusual for him. Lucia highlights: Goggi and the voices of Lilliana Rossi, Prandelli (Edgardo), Valletti, Neroni; in Italian, with some unobtrusive English narration.
