The Leopard
History, Italian Style
June 4 - 25
Luchino Visconti reached new heights of epic grandeur with his sweeping, Palme d’Or–winning account of political upheaval and generational sea change in Risorgimento-era Italy, starring Burt Lancaster as the patriarch of a ruling-class Bourbon family in the last gasps of its dominance.
Luchino Visconti reached new heights of epic grandeur with his sweeping, Palme d’Or–winning account of political upheaval and generational sea change during the Risorgimento. A bewhiskered Burt Lancaster is the leonine patriarch of a ruling-class Bourbon family in the last gasps of its dominance as Garibaldi and his Redshirts upend social order and a new spirit ascends—embodied by beautiful people Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale. With fastidious attention to period detail, Visconti evokes a gilded world fading into oblivion, his camera gliding over baroque palazzos, magnificent banquets, and ornate ceremonies. It all culminates in a majestic, dusk-to-dawn ball sequence that is as poignant as it is breathtaking. 2K DCP digital restoration by Cineteca di Bologna, The Film Foundation, Pathé, Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé, 20th Century Fox, and CSC-Cineteca Nazionale, supported by GUCCI and The Film Foundation.
