'The indifferent ones') is a 1964 Italian–French drama film directed by Francesco Maselli starring Claudia Cardinale.
[3] Aging countess Maria Grazia Ardengo and her children Carla and Michele live in a luxurious villa in Rome.
Due to the family's bankruptcy, their house has been mortgaged, now owned by inscrupulous businessman Leo, and the furnishings are subject to forced sales.
Michele, intent on killing Leo when he learns of the affair but unable to do so, tries to talk his sister into leaving the house with him and start a life on their own, but eventually both resign to the new conditions.
In his 2009 book The A to Z of Italian Cinema, Gino Molterno called Maselli's film a "finely crafted" and "beautifully photographed" adaptation of Moravia's novel,[3] while Luca Barattoni, in his 2012 Italian Post-Neorealist Cinema, came to a negative conclusion, titling the film "a stiff and vapid photostory, devoid of historical specificity".
