The Leopard (1963)
Burt Lancaster stars in a sweeping Technirama epic that follows a Sicilian prince navigating love, family, and the fading aristocracy during Italy’s 19th-century social upheaval. <em>Part of the series <a href="/technicolor-series">The Wonderful World of Technicolor</a>, a seven-week celebration of Technicolor’s most dazzling achievements, showcasing the films that define cinema’s golden age of colour. The Tuesday evening screening will be introduced by series curators Adam Cook and Hilary Jay.</em> Among a wave of European films shot in Technicolor’s widescreen format, Technirama, <em>The Leopard</em> stands out as one of the grandest achievements of the era. Luchino Visconti crafts a sweeping cross-section of Sicilian society in the throes of political transformation as we follow a Sicilian prince navigating love, family, and the fading aristocracy during Italy’s 19th-century social upheaval. Every gorgeous frame is composed with painterly precision, from sun-drenched battlefields to the legendary ballroom sequence that serves as the film’s emotional climax. Frequently ranked alongside <em>The Godfather</em> as one of cinema’s greatest historical epics, <em>The Leopard</em> balances an eye for spectacle with the full weight of history, decadence, and decline.Historical DramaPT3H6MRated PG2026-02-08Burt Lancaster
