| PLOT SYNOPSIS for Criterion Collection: The Leopard |
|
| An epic of the grandest possible scale, Luchino Visconti’s The Leopard recreates, with nostalgia, action, and opulence, the tumultuous years of the Risorgimento when the aristocracy lost its grip and the middle classes rose and formed a unified, democratic Italy. Burt Lancaster stars as the aging prince watching his culture and fortune wane in the face of a new generation, represented by his upstart nephew Tancredi and his love for the beautiful daughter of a Sicilian merchant. Awarded a special Palme d’Or at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival, The Leopard translates the original novel, and the history it recounts, into a truly cinematic masterpiece. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the film in two distinct versions: Visconti’s original Italian version, and the English-language version released in America. |
