Review of The Leopard (1963) by Filipe C — 12 May 2018
Every frame is a painting in Visconti's lush, opulent and impeccably acted Il Gattopardo. This was probably his most personal film as, in many ways, he was the Prince (and rumor has it Lancaster used the director as inspiration).
The waves of melancholia that come and go are poetic and touching, leaving behind a trail of sadness brought to life by the vivid technicolor. The contrast is striking and utterly perfect.
