In 1969, The Damned (La caduta degli dei) was director Luchino Visconti's most controversial film to date. Set in the 1930s, the film zeroes in on a Krupp-like family of German munition manufacturers. The Essenbeck clan is headed by the Baron (Rene Kolldehoff), but daughter Sophie (Ingrid Thulin) wants her Nazi boyfriend to take over the business. Soon the Baron is dead and Bruckman (Dirk Bogarde) becomes company president. Son Martin (Helmut Berger) is the dope-addicted teenager who sleeps with his mother and drags her into her own dependence on drugs. Ever in pursuit of more millions to add to their already bulging coffers, the family plays along with the Nazis, descending into corruption, betrayal and murder all along the way. The film was originally released in the U.S. with an X rating. Hal Erickson, Rovi

I was very disappointed by this film. My high expectations were deflated by poor direction. Many potentially enlightening moments evaporated into failure when actors who apparently had something to say in scenes pregnant with potential tension, instead mimed some vague gesture and waved the situation away into a forgettable vacuum. The film is plagued by such emptiness. It didn't take long for oppressive boredom and irritation to overtake me. I lost interest from bad acting and incoherent editing.
