Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon, Burt Lancaster Luchino Visconti |
 | Description: | An epic on the grandest scale, Luchino Visconti's THE LEOPARD (IL GATTOPARDO) re-creates, with nostalgia, drama, and opulence, the tumultuous years of Italy's Risorgimento, when the aristocracy lost it's grip and the middle classes rose and formed a unified, democratic Italy. Burt Lancaster (The Killers, Brute Force) stars as an aging prince watching his culture and fortune wane in the face of a new generation, represented by the gorgeous Alain Delon (PURPLE NOON, LE SAMOURAI) and Claudia Cardinale (8 1/2, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST). The Criterion Collection is proud to present THE LEOPARD in two distinct versions: Visconti's original and the English-language one released in America."The Leopard" (Il Gattopardo) arrives on Blu-Ray in a stunning edition from Criterion Collection (Direct), offering film lovers the definitive version of Luchino Visconti's 1963 masterpiece. This epic historical drama, set during the tumultuous period of Italian unification, follows Prince Don Fabrizio Salina as he navigates social and political upheaval in Sicily. The film is renowned for its sumptuous cinematography by Giuseppe Rotunno and an evocative score by Nino Rota. Starring Burt Lancaster in one of his most acclaimed roles, alongside Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale, "The Leopard" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and remains a landmark in world cinema.
Criterion Collection is celebrated for its meticulous restorations and authoritative releases of classic films. Their editions often include insightful supplements such as director interviews, scholarly essays, and behind-the-scenes features that enrich viewers' appreciation.
Director Luchino Visconti was a founding figure of Italian neorealism ("Ossessione," "La Terra Trema") before turning to lavish historical epics like "Senso" and "Death in Venice." Burt Lancaster brought Hollywood gravitas to European cinema with performances ranging from "From Here to Eternity" to "Atlantic City." French heartthrob Alain Delon became an icon through films like "Le Samouraï," while Claudia Cardinale dazzled audiences worldwide with her roles in classics such as "8½" and "Once Upon a Time in the West." Composer Nino Rota?s legendary collaborations with Fellini (?La Dolce Vita?) further elevate this cinematic treasure. |  | Actors: |
