The Great Political Films: The Leopard w/ Lucia Rubinelli
Past Present Future
Cynicism and Idealism in 'The Leopard'
This chapter examines a pivotal line from 'The Leopard,' exploring its interpretations within British conservatism and Italy's 'transformism.' It critiques the contrast between cynical political tactics and the struggle for principled integrity, as embodied by the film's characters, particularly the prince and Tancredi. Through the lens of societal decay and changing class dynamics, the chapter reflects on themes of aging, moral failings, and the impact of historical transformations on the aristocracy.
