Il Gattopardo (Luchino Visconti)
A masterpiece of a great Italian director who comes from an aristocratic family, he was able 'to build a wide and comprehensive view of the decadence of the nobility' and the rise of the bourgeoisie. The film was not recognized immediately but his genius' was tested with the passage of time. Burt Lancaster (Prince Fabrizio of Salina), Alain Delon (his nephew Tancredi) and Claudia Cardinale (Angelica) make up a trio of very interesting and certainly very talented. Above all, Claudia Cardinale and 'fabulous, one of the women most' beautiful in the whole world. When I see her, I can not break away from fencing.
's interesting how Lancaster (American, not Italian, who first starred in the hit film American) and' succeeded in creating an image of a true principle, intellectual, educated, full of dignity '. Very metaphorical and 'this last dance that ends the movie and the prince's life, the aristocracy, the old life. The new generation presantata by Tancredi and Angelica can be put forward to the new life, with the condition, but Fabrizio does not believe that everything can change, so is idle and resigned to fate.
The film 'shot with precision from the room. This approach has had its adherents. For example, Bondarchuk made his film "War and Peace" following the example of "The Leopard".
