Decadence, Detail and Lavish Beauty:
Films of Luchino Visconti
One of the undisputed masterworks of the
1960s, Luchino Visconti’s epic The Leopard
(Il gattopardo) recreates Giuseppe Tomasi di
Lampedusa novel of a Sicilian aristocrat in the
tumultuous years of Italy’s Risorgimento. Burt
Lancaster stars as the aging and melancholy
Prince of Salina, whose culture and fortune
diminish in the face of a new generation as
the aristocracy crumbles. That generation is
represented by the romantic pairing of Alain
Delon and Claudia Cardinale. Visconti recreated
this world with nostalgia, painstaking detail and
lavishness, winning him the Palme d’Or at the
1963 Cannes Film Festival. Italian language with
English subtitles.
