An Italian aristocrat (Burt Lancaster) can't cope with the rise of the bourgeoisie in the 1860s. |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey
|
Visconti's sumptuous 19th century epic wonderfully evokes the time of Garibaldi, and the emotions of being part of a declining aristocracy. Lancaster, though not well dubbed, gives a memorable character portrait (based, so he said, on Visconti himself). The set-pieces - whether battles, dinners or balls - are all magnificently photographed by Giuseppe Rotunno. Nino Rota's score is one of his best. Avoid the badly dubbed 165-minute version, which also suffers from poor colour.
Winner of the Golden Palm as Best Film at Cannes, it also received an Oscar nomination for Best Costume Design.
