Reviews for The Leopard
1 - 12 (sorted by date)
Top CriticStately, elegiac, ruminative, the film truly does now feel seamlessly all of a piece -- and looks glorious.

Top CriticWatching 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.
02/10/05
Top CriticOne of the greatest motion pictures of all time, as well as one of the most politically profound.
01/13/05
Top CriticThe Leopard is epic filmmaking at its finest.
11/18/04
Top CriticOne of the greatest of all historical costume epics.
10/07/04
Top CriticThe 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
Top CriticThe 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 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 CriticWritten by the only man who could have written it, directed by the only man who could have directed it, and stars the only man who could have played its title character.
10/01/03
Top CriticA stunning visualization of a mood of melancholy and nostalgia at the passing of an age.
05/24/03
Top CriticNot only Visconti's greatest film but a work that transcends its creator, achieving a sensitivity and intelligence without parallel in his other films.
