Dir. Luchino Visconti. 1963, 185 mins, plus intermission. Italian with English subtitles. New restoration on DCP. With Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon, Claudia Cardinale, Pierre Clémenti. Visconti’s extraordinary, luxuriously beautiful three-hour work—about a prince who watches his fortune and way of life crumble around him amid the upheaval of the Risorgimento in mid-nineteenth-century Italy—is one of the grandest of all movie epics. The sumptuous widescreen cinematography by Giuseppe Rotunno and aching Nino Rota score are matched by the truly dazzling cast.
