Full Plot Details

In the 1860s, a dying aristocracy struggles to maintain itself against a harsh Sicilian landscape. The film traces with a slow and deliberate rhythm the waning of the noble home of Fabrizio Corbero, Prince of Salina (the Leopard) and the corresponding rise to eminence of the enormously wealthy ex-peasant Don Calogero Sedara. The prince himself refuses to take active steps to halt the decline of his personal fortunes or help build a new Sicily, but his nephew Tancredi, Prince of Falconeri, swims with the tide and assures his own position by marrying Don Calogero's beautiful daughter Angelica. The climatic scene is the sumptuous 40-minute ball in which Tancredi introduces Angelica to society.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonOne of the greatest of all historical costume epics.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 10/10 by Steve CrumInvolving story with fine Lancaster performance.
Boston Phoenix - 10/10 by Jeffrey Gantz[Lancaster] and Delon and Cardinale and Visconti and Tomasi di Lampedusa make this the shortest 185-minute movie you'll ever see.
New York Observer - 10/10 by Andrew SarrisOne of the greatest motion pictures of all time, as well as one of the most politically profound.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by G. Allen JohnsonThe 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.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonOne of the most coveted and elusive of all home video releases, Luchino Visconti's The Leopard finally makes its monumental DVD debut in 2004, and it was worth the wait.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Jake Eukertrue 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
Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawA rich and gorgeous film, crowned with a magnificent, extended ballroom scene.
BBC.com - 10/10 by Jamie RussellA 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.
CineVue - 10/10 by Lee CassanellLancaster's portrayal is fantastic throughout. The man bleeds gravitas from his bewhiskered face to his shiny shoes... Even though the sets are some of the most spectacular and lavish ever committed to celluloid, he manges to usurp them.
