Review of The Leopard (1963) by Alex G — 02 Jan 2008
Luxurious, entrancing story of the decline of a social and political ruling class and the rise of the brash, corruption of modern Italy. Anyone who enjoyed 'The Godfather' trilogy should see this.
Great score. Great script. Great performances. Fabulous setting in tumbledown, post-war Palermo - the Khalsa is the setting for the battle scene between Garibaldi's Mille and the retreating Bourbons - and in rural western Sicily.
Claudia Cardinale. Need I say more?
