In de jaren zestig van de negentiende eeuw probeert een uitstervende aristocratie zijn status te behouden tegen de achtergrond van het onherbergzame Siciliaanse landschap. De heersende aristocraat is niet bereid om zich in te zetten voor zijn overleving en wil ook niet meewerken aan een nieuw Sicilië, terwijl anderen zich in deze situatie opwerken in de sociale rangen en standen.

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.
