En 1860, tandis que la Sicile est submergée par les bouleversements de Garibaldi et de ses Chemises Rouges, le prince Salina se rend avec toute sa famille dans sa résidence de Donnafugata. Prévoyant le déclin de l'aristocratie, ce dernier accepte une mésalliance et marie son neveu Tancrède à la fille du maire de la ville, représentant la classe montante. (Pathé Films)

A very long showcase of beautiful images and actors that speaks volumes about the historical era it covers and abounds in almost poetic dialogues of considerable depth, but that as a whole only left me again with Claudia Cardinale’s eyes. The first two hours were still interesting, and I was curious about the fate of the characters, but Visconti deals mostly with the era and the manners of the aristocrats, without bothering to let the viewer get close to the characters. The ending didn’t interest me and the last hour was so tiring that I don’t think I will ever give it another chance. 70%

A magnificent and truly beautifully shot film, which has captivating colors that were not so typical for Italian cinematography and yet suited it so well. However, it is not a big drama, it is still a human drama, focused on individual characters and how their destinies change and how they themselves must change.
