| “The Leopard” by Luchino Visconti 185 mins, starring Bart Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale, Italian with English subtitles Synopsis: A Sicilian aristocrat, skeptical about progress, accepts annexation into the new liberal Kingdom of unified Italy, so that things “remain the same”. Set in 1860 Palermo and vicinities. Based on Giuseppe di Lampedusa’s novel. Golden Palm at the Cannes Festival 1963. Arguably, this movie is for Italy what “Gone with the Wind” is for the US.
