Il Gattopardo, 1963, by Luchino Visconti

[Distortion0]

Could someone put up a subtitled version for English-speaking film lovers?

[Jitpring]

The glorious Claudia Cardinale! We lose ourselves around such beautiful women.

[tattisalles1989]

É incrível o poder da beleza. Todos se aquietam e se comovem diante daquilo que Bilac chamou de "O triunfo imortal da carne".

Magnifico esse filme do maestro Visconti, mas nesta cena creio que o que mais chama a a tenção é a presença carnal de Claudia Cardinale a estontear todos os homens presentes com sua encantadora beleza mediterrânea.

Percebam como Tancredi larga a mão da prima quando a bela burguesa adentra o recinto...a beleza é cruel ... com quem não a possui.

uno dei piú belli fiim della storia del Cinema Italiano!un capolavoro che solamente fu possibile grazie al genio dI Luchino Visconti!!!!!!!!!

[TheNick1951]

Uma obra prima de Luchino Visconti. Uma das raras vezes em que o filme não desmerece o livro que o originou.

[virtuouscircle]

My heart always bleeds for poor doomed Concetta... what fabulous acting! Thanks for posting this!

[oubriz]

@virtuouscircle i think that in the book she finally realises/learns that Tangredi was actually in love with her all the way long so that is kind of a relief. Yet i feel exactly as you do too..

[mercore]

@oubriz do you mean Tancredi (Alain Delon) was actually in love with his cousin Concetta in the book? strange they didn't show it in the movie..

[oubriz]

@mercore Yeah he was. Well there are some things not shown in the movie. There are more chapters in the book after the last scene of the movie. You also get to see Fabritsio's death and what happens to the family after..

[mercore]

@oubriz then thank God I didn't read the book, i don't want to be depressed more than I am >_<

[tsRodrigues1989]

Lástima não se fazerem mais cineastas como Visconti!

[54spiritedwill54]

this is a truly great film :) indeed a masterpiece!

[McNugget06]

Holy shit, it's like Sergio Leone directed a 17th century period piece. It looks like a way better version of The Age of Innocence actually.

¡MAGNIFICO¡

BELLISIMA PELICULA¡

[arte730]

Troppo raffinato Visconti, la grande cultura di questo grande regista mi emoziona sempre.

[terradiconquista]

E il baciamano solo accennato? Che classe.

[TheFedinaaa90]

povera Concetta!!! che poi si rovinerà con le sue stesse mani, ma a Tancredi va meglio diciamo

[road6849]

belissima Angelica

[MerolaSantissimo]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[19chicaitaliana92]

Ma Angelica non dovrebbe essere più bella di Concetta??? A me sembra il contrario...XD

[arlong76]

Do you know that "The leopard" is not a good translation for "Il Gattopardo"? A leopard is bigger than a gattopardo and it is the equivalent of the italian "leopardo". "Gattopardo" can be translated "ocelot" or "serval".

[mdicanio]

Extraordinary choice! It is magical; the integration of Nino Rota's music, the panoramic framing of an interior, the editing and completely fleshed-out, profoundly realized characters... one could go on about this scene forever. Angelica is the agent of change for the family, if not their entire society, and the sense of inevitability when her eyes meet Tancredi's creates in me, at least, an overwhelming pathos. Not to mention the portrayal of young, first love. Thanks so much for posting this.

Furthermore, this music was composed prior to the film, as sketches for a symphony in 1947. I think Visconti molded much the film around the music, as opposed to the norm for film scores where the soundtrack is composed after filming. There are too many sequences that show the director had envisioned the use of the music prior to filming, such as this. The opening credits is perfectly edited to the music, it's a real love of visual and audio integration.

[mdicanio]

Fascinating, Dwayne2005. For those of us who don't fully grasp the process of coordinating moving images with music, it seems to be a kind of alchemy (esp. when it works like this). Thanks for your insight.

[genzano]

Visconti should be a master at tailoring the action to the music, given his experience in producing operas for La Sacala.

amazing masterpiece! one of the great scene entrances!! Claudia has a knack for them...as in Once Upon a Time in the West.

[ohworldgirl]

When Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon's character's met you felt the forces of nature just fall together into place. Can't explain it. I loved this couple together. They're such a fiercely handsome couple and they reduced me to a die-hard romantic. I just drank it up!.

[LaBrigitteBardot2]

you are insane

[ohworldgirl]

You're a fucking crazy stalker who's subscribed to my favorites and obsessed with BrigitteBardot to the point of being psycho.

Why are you subscribing to my favorites after all the shit you were talking in another post? I also think you are the pschyo under the name of CAtherine D. Romy S and Jean S. Weirdo!

[LaDeneuve]

hello dear its me ,your friend , we have todo something but to help you

[Mustang529]
