CloseLuchino Visconti’s The Leopard, based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s best-selling novel, must surely rate as one of the most sumptuously beautiful epics ever made. And this new digital restoration makes the experience yet more intense.
Set in 1860-62, during the turbulent period of Italian unification, it tells the story of an aristocratic Sicilian family threatened by the political upheavals, culminating in the 45 minute ballroom scene where we can see and feel a society in transition.
This gorgeous evocation of an era, filmed on location in Sicily, is stunningly photographed with a rousing score by Nino Rota.
