Dear Sandra

On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Luchino Visconti, Atom Egoyan reinterprets the masterpiece Vaghe stelle dell’Orsa (Sandra of a Thousand Delights, Golden Lion at the Venice Festival in 1965). The artbook, which is numbered and signed by the author, contains unpublished black and white 35mm photographs shot on scene, digital colour photographs shot on site 40 years later, and graphic interventions based on original ‘60s film posters. The text is a hand-written letter by Atom Egoyan to the main character, the diva Claudia Cardinale. English text with Italian translation enclosed. An alabaster slate adorns the book's packaging.
