This is a gorgeous, fascinating account of the interplay between the personal and the social, directed with the kind of insight that only an aristocrat turned Marxist like Visconti could afford.
07/30/03
One of the greatest motion pictures of all time, as well as one of the most politically profound.

Top CriticA stunning visualization of a mood of melancholy and nostalgia at the passing of an age.
05/24/03
The Leopard is epic filmmaking at its finest.
11/18/04
Not only Visconti's greatest film but a work that transcends its creator, achieving a sensitivity and intelligence without parallel in his other films.
05/24/03
Top CriticSmart and sumptuous, although less nuanced and atmospheric than the brilliant Giuseppe Di Lampedusa novel it's based on.
01/13/05
Watching it now, a more than 40-year-old evocation of an era now some 150 years in the past, we can still feel his ache from here.

Top Critic[The film] was too subtle for mass audiences in the early 1960s and too expensive to earn back its investment from the art house circuit, but over time it has become recognized as a classic and perhaps Visconti's finest film.
07/29/04
Top CriticExquisite from first frame to last, Visconti's masterpiece captures like no other film the melancholy mood of the end of an era, focusing on one aristocratic Italian clan, with Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon at their most appealing
07/25/06
The feeling at the end of this masterpiece -- a profound meditation on mortality, really -- is so pitch-perfect and conveys so many complexities at a very simple level that The Leopard has become one of the greatest of all epics.
09/10/04
From the opulent visuals and lavish costumes down to the stately Burt Lancaster himself, The Leopard is a breathtaking work.
08/07/03
The greatest film of its kind made since World War II -- its only rivals are Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and Visconti's own Senso.
08/10/04
Top Critictrue lovers of cinema will find in it an awesome example of screen craftsmanship of a sort that has vanished as surely as the way of life it portrays
06/01/04
A masterpiece in the truest sense of the word, The Leopard is the kind of magisterial filmmaking that Visconti's more famous Death in Venice could only ever dream of being.
