    Visconti's attention to detail pays off with this extravagantly gorgeous epic. The production design and cinematography are close to perfection.

    I did feel its length, however. I don't believe this needed to be three hours long. Some smart editing choices could've been made to considerably trim down the film without compromising its tone and spirit.

    Nevertheless, it's highly recommended.

    Beautifully rich cinematography. Lush interiors and perfect exteriors. The Italian countryside comes to life on screen. It was a little long for my liking but every minute was a feast. I had a hard time following the plot but each scene was wonderfully acted. 10 years 2 months ago

    deckard.

    the influences on godfather are very visible in the grand ballet scene, sicilian visuals and burt lancester's performance.

    i still cannot understand how a barechested hollywood action hunk portrayed a 19th century's aging italian prince this much soulfully and elegantly.

    after leone's casting henry fonda as a villain, this may be the 2nd hollywood actor in a european movie that really floored me and left me in awe.

    an influental movie with a unique performance.
