Larry Karaszewski on

The Leopard

Released 1963
Distributor 20th Century Fox

Classical movie making of the highest order, Luchino Visconti’s sweeping 1963 epic set during the Italian revolution plants Burt Lancaster (forced on the director by nervous producers, but ultimately a valued working partner) at the center of a long form feast for the senses, photographed by the great Giuseppe Rotunno (Amarcord, Satyricon) and with music by Nino Rota (La Dolce Vita, The Godfather). Surely a major influence on Bernardo Bertolucci’s grandiose epic 1900, also featuring Lancaster. Various versions exist, ranging from 205 minutes to 151. One of Martin Scorsese’s favorites.
