Love arrives at the wrong time in Luchino Visconti’s White Nights, the director’s dreamlike adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novella. The indomitable Marcello Mastroianni stars as Mario, a lonely drifter who meets the young Natalia (Maria Schell) wandering the streets at night, only to discover she is faithfully waiting for the lover who promised to return to her a year earlier. As he falls for her over a series of moonlit encounters, hope and heartbreak become increasingly intertwined. Catch the newly restored 4K edition at Film Forum. —Carolina de Armas
