Andrei Tarkovsky’s consciousness-bending landmark of philosophical science fiction follows a psychologist dispatched to a space station, only to confront a ghost from his past.
“Is this the most beautiful film ever made?”—Time Out London
Based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s celebrated 1958 novel, Luchino Visconti’s sumptuous Palme d’Or winner charts the fall of an aristocratic family. Burt Lancaster presides over the action as an aging patriarch in 1860s Sicily amid the tumult of Giuseppe Garibaldi’s reunification movement. An all-time favorite of Martin Scorsese, this lavish masterpiece features a wealth of impeccable costumes, opulent scenery, and awe-inspiring setpieces, culminating in “one of the most moving meditations on individual mortality in the history of cinema” (Chicago Reader).
