SINOSSI ITALIANA: La Sicilia del 1860 viene sconvolta dall’annuncio dello sbarco garibaldino. Il principe don Fabrizio di Salina sceglie per l’annessione del proprio feudo di Donnafugata allo Stato Sabaudo. Inoltre favorisce il fidanzamento del nipote Tancredi con la bella Angelica Sedà ra, figlia di un ricco parvenu ma di umili origini. Il nipote inizia così la propria scalata sociale nel nuovo ordine, mentre lo zio preferisce restare legato alla tradizione. Unico baluardo di un mondo in via di dissoluzione, il principe sente forte il senso della fine, e quando durante il ballo, per festeggiare la scongiurata rivoluzione, si vede attorniato da gente ormai troppo diversa da lui si rassegna a morire. Critica al trasformismo della classe politica, pronta a indossare l’habitus nuovo per inscenare la solita storia: se vogliamo che tutto rimanga com’è, bisogna che tutto cambi.

ENGLISH SYNOPSIS: Luchino Visconti's The Leopard (Il Gattopardo) is an epic on the grandest possible scale. The film recreates, with nostalgia, drama, and opulence, the tumultuous years of Italy's 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 (Alain Delon) and his beautiful fiancée (Claudia Cardinale). Awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival, The Leopard translates Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel, and the history it recounts, into a truly cinematic masterpiece.
This release boasts a stunning new high definition digital transfer from the original 70mm negative materials, with restored image and sound, supervised by director of photography Giuseppe Rotunno and is presented in its original wide screen aspect ratio.
