An epic of the grandest possible scale, Luchino Visconti's The Leopard recreates, with nostalgia, action, and opulence, the tumultuous years of the Risorgimento-when the aristocracy lost its grip and the middle classes rose and formed a unified, democratic Italy. Burt Lancaster stars as the aging prince watching his culture and fortune wane in the face of a new generation, represented by his upstart nephew Tancredi (Alain Delon) and his love for the beautiful daughter of a Sicilian merchant (Claudia Cardinale). Awarded a special Palme d'Or at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival, The Leopard translates the original novel, and the history it recounts, into a truly cinematic masterpiece. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the film in two distinct versions: Visconti's original Italian version, and the English-language version released in America.
