LUCHINO VISCONTI | ITALY, FRANCE | 1963 | 195 MIN | PG | ITALIAN, FRENCH
Led by Burt Lancaster and Alain Delon, the opulence and decadence of Italian aristocracy in the 19th century is upended by a growing middle class hungry for civil war in Visconti’s absolutely beautiful historical adaptation of the 1958 Tomasi novel.
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon, Claudia Cardinale, Paolo Stoppa
Part of the Philadelphia Film Society's TAKE A BOW - VISCONTI director series.
Lucino Visconti may have helped usher in the Italian neorealist cinematic movement, but it’s his sweeping, near-operatic period dramas that secured his place as an all time master of cinema. Indulge in the director’s contradictory filmography that is as synonymous with aristocratic decadence as it is with proletariat struggle.
