One of the richest, most beautiful films ever made; the costuming and set design are absolutely stunning, and each individual frame is like a painting, bursting with detail. It's a continuous ballet of images. It's also a brilliantly told story, driven by equal parts plot and character, with excellent performances (Lancaster is perfect as the aging Italian prince), and is at once romantic, exciting, brooding, intelligent and tragic.

It's impossible not to be impressed by the sweep and grandeur of this movie. The sets and costumes are jaw-dropping displays of opulence and extravagance, and gorgeously photographed too. The amount of time, thought, planning and money that must have gone into this is staggering. Definitely an A+ for effort. I enjoyed the theme of Don Fabrizio's coming to terms with his own obsolescence, as not only his mortal death looms near, but also the death of his way of life and position in society.

If not being enthralled by a three hour costume drama about a fading patriarch during the unification of Italy makes me a child, well then give me a pacifier and a blanket because I need a fucking nap after watching this. I get that it's beautifully shot and intelligently written, but there's no reading of this movie that would grab my interest.

Three hour long costume dramas aren't exactly my "thing", but The Leopard won me over. It's absolutely gorgeous. The sets, the costumes, the photography -- all perfect. The character of Don Fabrizio is intriguing, and Lancaster's performance is inspired. The sheer length of the movie necessitates patience, and the subtlety necessitates constant attention to minor details. But ultimately, it's very rewarding.

Italian 185m cut. A slow start but it wowed me as I kept watching. Beautiful costumes (even when they're dull). Nice outdoor scenes. Lancaster's character is very interesting because he's acknowledging of changes, supports them in a background way, but doesn't really do anything outwardly. Cardinale definitely turned heads. The dance was the centerpiece of this film and took up a long time. Fav scenes: arguing in bed; Cardinale/Delon romance; dancing.

Fascinating and captivating both visually and thematically. Using an Italian revolution as a backdrop it examines dealing with change from a personal, political and social perspective. Instead of the usual tales of ambition and intrigue this type of setting usually brings we get a beautiful contemplative epic with compelling characters and a slow but always moving plot, perfectly appropriate for the content.

Your will be swept away by the landscape, the costumes, the cinematography and the cast - what an amazing cast.. It's status as a classic is manifested by the intriguing variety in characters, who establishes themselves as ambiguous symbols of the historical Italy. A very interesting film, that keeps you interested for it's entire duration(180 min), but I can't help feeling that somehow I want more out of my classics!

Many descriptions make it sound like a slog, but there are marvelous sights each minute, fight scenes and sly humor, Sicilian folklore and a sophisticated, dramatized understanding of the times and the people. And all is done in a slightly distant, knowing tone that incorporates satire, romance, and the dream of old nobility. They felt like Gods and now they have to sleep, leaving the kingdom to bores and thieves in uniform. The Prince is an anachronism, and he suffers for not getting with it.

Very nuanced storytelling here, but rewarding. One thing I enjoyed was the subtle transition of Delon's character Tancredi from idealistic youth into a man bound by tradition like his uncle -- I have to wonder if this movie influenced The Godfather. Lancaster really won me over on this one -- by all means his character should be unlikable, but I really sympathized with his inevitable obsolescence by the end of the film. Also, old-time Italy is very photogenic and the cinematography is beautiful.

I am very picky when it comes to epics and long movies, a lot of the time I don't have the patience to sit down and watch from start to finish, but with The Leopard, its different. From the moment I started to watch, I was drawn into Prince Fabrizio's character perfectly portrayed by Burt Lancaster. The way the Leopard is shot is one of a kind. Beautiful imagery followed with fantastic sets and great costumes created an atmosphere like most period films can't compare to.

Masterful period drama by Visconti that was a great influence on Coppola. Burt Lancaster is excellent as an aging prince watching the collapse of the aristocratic class he belongs to in slow motion. Although the film is set in a specific time in Italian history--and based on a classic novel of the same name--its themes of class, aging, the passing of time and the transience of socio-political order are universal in nature, and the ball sequence is one cinema's most magnificent set pieces.

Aristocratic pretentiousness. Then two armies lame street fighting sequences with pathetic lack luster choreography. Lots of royal and religious pageantry, dinners, rigged elections, and more pretentiousness. A revolution where nothing changes. From half way there are a few interesting scenes, but it's mostly all fluff and not much substance.

Rich people problems. So much opulent, grandiose pageantry. So much bloated, ponderous bullshit. There's a hint of genuine pathos to it's look at aristocracy on the brink of obsolescence, but nothing that warrants the three-hour running time, and the Delon/Cardinale romance subplot adds little apart from added tedium. Visconti clearly loves all this costumed spectacle, and if you share his enthusiasm for ballroom scenes lasting nearly an hour, than by all means have at it.

Where the novel is at times almost unbearably arch-conservative, whining about how much worse things became when the Common people started getting Ideas without listening to their Betters, Visconti keeps sneaking in these little angles of servants putting out chamberpots, setting tables, dying in tumble-down houses, getting screwed over by opportunist power-seekers who always find an excuse. Lavish, but rotting.

As lavish an epic as has ever been put on film. The first two thirds can be a bit heavy-going and confusing, especially on first viewing, and at times it seems to assume familiarity with Italian history and the source novel. But then its themes of death and obsolescence, and the nature of history, start to blossom (especially in the celebrated ball sequence), and it becomes rather brilliant. Stunning production design, solid acting, painstaking direction, and a marvelous score by Nino Rota.

I think that to enjoy this film it's needed a good familiarity with italian history, and an interest for history in general. We are watching the change of the dominant class, in a very particular moment, when the change was only at the start in the conservative Sicily. We see the rivolutionaries become conservative, to defend their new power. The role of the church. If i want to find a flaw, maybe it's too much descriptive, illustrative, a novel in picture.

Even dubbed into Italian, Lancaster is absolutely commanding as the Prince of Salina, an old-school noble in 1860s Sicily. Visconti's slow-moving epic is surely among the most sumptuous films ever made - the sets, the costumes, the landscapes are ravishing.

well-acted with good set design etc., as you'd expect with any period drama. however this one falls rather flat, with a story that isn't very interesting. there doesn't even seem to be much passion behind this, as if it were contracted by some national history advocates. good parts involve the play between an aristocratic past and a 'revolutionary' future, and the natural cynicism that arises.

A melancholy "end of an era" film, where Lancaster's great eyebrows get to ponder at the changes taking place in Italy and passing him by. At times, it feels like a travel ad for Sicily, with beautiful backgrounds combined with Rota's soaring music. A little long (and I saw the abbreviated US edition). While I could feel empathy for the prince, I really never sympathized with him, as he didn't really sympathize with anyone else.

The large-scale battle scene is among the worst ever filmed, with extras just ambling towards each other with no idea what to do next. Everything else is directed and shot with enough pizzazz that it almost justifies the bloated, self-indulgent runtime, with production design that goes light years beyond lavish in its intricate quality and detail. The central theme of losing one’s place in a changing world is smartly explored, and each of the key one-on-one conversations is flawless.

An absolutely beautiful, lavishly produced epic drama that mostly justifies its length, though perhaps comes up a bit short without hurting the film too much. Visconti was the perfect director for this--while it has some melodramatic/soap opera elements, it's less of that than some of his most soap opera works. Lancaster is really good. Figuring out some of the timeline and historical elements that are going on was not always easy, though knowing the details didn't seem to matter too much.

Em primeiro lugar quero dizer que gosto mais do filme do aristocrata comunista Visconti do que do livro do aristocrata reacionário Lampedusa, acho que Visconti tem maiores obras-primas do que O Leopardo, mas a atmosfera de decadência constante de uma aristocracia falida é de um primor estético e simbólico sem igual, não que Lampedusa não atinja esse mesmo patamar em termos de linguagem literária, sua escrita rebuscada é verdadeiramente uma volta ao passado na literatura do século XIX,

It took many years for my apprecation of this film to fully bloom, and even still it is of such niche and nuance that I don't know if I'll ever entirely comprehend its political, cultural, period-specific implications. What is apparent and deeply felt is the pathos and pity of time, which will, for better or worse, eventually transcend all. This is perhaps Lancaster's greatest role, and it's among the most gorgeous color films ever made.

Lancaster is superb. He's always seemed like an aristrocrat striding gracefully among the rabble and he imbues Prince Salinas with poignant resignation. He personalizes the film, his acceptance of death mirroring the socio-political obsolescence his way of life is meeting. For Salinas, nothing ever needed thought or action. It always was. The Leopard is a classic because it is timeless in its depiction of the remorseless march of time. It has the look of paintings stirred to life.

Visually, one of the most opulant, luxurious, colourful, splendiferous, magnificent, delirious, aesthetically grandiose films I've ever seen. I could watch Visonti's camera make love to the Italian countryside for hours. The interiors are not bad either. It tries to be Italy's Gone With The Wind but the story is not quite enough for 3 hours and it drags in the final third. Interesting to see where The Godfather's influences came from. Good performances from Lancaster, Delon but not Cardinale.

The Leopard is probably the quintessential Risorgimento period drama, both epic and painstakingly detailed, well cast and masterfully directed as can be expected from Visconti. The text, adapted by Suso Cecchi d'Amico from the Lampedusa novel, is intelligent and meaningful, but the story is not quite as emotionally or intellectually powerful as some of the other scripts penned by d'Amico. In fact, it is not even particularly interesting.

Extraordinary, unique epic with Lancaster in possibly the role of his career as an ageing member of the aristocracy, in mourning for a dying way of life. Visconti's incredible eye for colour and detail are on full display here, at times the visuals are so overwhelming, it is difficult to pay attention to the rich plotting (I think a second viewing will be in order). Long, but not too long, complex but not confusing, an extraordinary achievement on every level. Plus Cardinale at her most sublime.

There's ambiguity, and there's skirting the issue. Visconti's sweeping, relatively uninvolved direction is nice but he fails to leave any deep marks, content as he is to simply co-exist with the text, neither affirming nor challenging it to any significant degree. Both impressive and disappointing.

Prince Don Fabrizzio is such a solemn and yet watchable character (thanks in no small part to Lancaster's performance); by the end, we feel his every emotion, deeply and profoundly. The film is obviously lush and gorgeous at every second, but it's so incredibly dense that it's hard to process at times. Because of its length and density, audience interest will inevitably wane, but when it hits, it hits hard and with immense beauty.

What a GORGEOUS film. Shot after shot of visual ecstasy. Shouts out to Burt Lancaster, because even when he doesn't have his voice he is a damn good actor. I really never knew exactly what was happening in the film but it's just so nice. The ballroom sequence is impressive. Shouts out to Claudia Cardinale for being unbelievably gorgeous.

One feels the director understands this milieu perfectly, and the viewer is presented with a genuinely remarkable visual spectacle, and a subtle and interesting protagonist coming to terms with a world that is requesting that he exit stage left even as it largely seems to reproduce the status quo. But the final hour drags badly.

I hate to say it but, this film was incredibly boring. It definitely didn't help that it was 3 hours long. I'm not a huge fan of period pieces, but I really struggled to pay attention during this. It felt like either nothing was happening, or I didn't understand what was happening. Most of the scenes seemed to involve some characters standing around discussing other characters who weren't there. This got very tedious. I can't fault the film technically, it was just wildly uninteresting to me.

I make mine the words of Roger Ebert: "The Leopard was written 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."

Review after a double re-watch: Supremely edited, a film of subtlety at moments and heavy-handed in others, but one misses too much of the narrative if one is stuck with the subtitles. Fabrizio isn't quite the success one might think, either. My original review: Cumbersome and stodgy, but worth seeing once.
