Time & Tickets

IL GATTOPARDO is an epic on the grandest possible scale. The film recreates, with nostalgia, drama, and opulence, the tumultuous years of Italy’s 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 and his beautiful fiancée. Awarded the Palme d’Or at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival, IL GATTOPARDO translates Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s novel, and the history it recounts, into a truly cinematic masterpiece.

Luchino Visconti, Italy, France, 1963, 186 min. Italian spoken, English subtitles. With Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon, Claudia Cardinale, Paolo Stoppa, Rina Morelli, Terence Hill..
