1963 > Italy > Directed by Luchino Visconti
With Alain Delon, Claudia Cardinale, Burt Lancaster
This latest digital restoration of The Leopard, which Martin Scorsese trumpets as "one of the greatest visual experiences in cinema," is a profoundly reflective adaptation of Giuseppe di Lampedusa's 1960 international bestseller. The film stars Burt Lancaster as the Sicilian prince whose time-honored ways are about to be disrupted by the advancing bourgeois armies of 1860s Italy. Alain Delon plays the Prince's nephew, who is married off to a beautiful bourgeoise (Cardinale). A gorgeous Technicolor epic and the most complete restoration to date with four additional minutes. "One of the finest 'Scope movies ever made." (Time Out Film Guide) Dubbed in Italian and subtitled in English. Subtitled. More at filmforum.org/films/leopard.html 35mm 'Scope
