Le Notti Bianche remains highly focused on individual longing and personal connection, rather than modern identity politics. Characterization is driven by emotions and circumstance, not box-checking for diversity or agenda-pushing. The narrative stands on its own, with no sense that story or character has been compromised for ideological reasons.

This film centers on timeless romantic longing and existential loneliness, with ample respect for tradition, culture, and the basics of masculine and feminine archetypes. No attempts to undermine religion, family, or masculinity here, just classic storytelling of another era.

There is no attempt to villainize traditional values or force a worldview. The characters struggle with love and loneliness free from any ideological preaching or manufactured consensus. Classic film, classic perspective.
