Overview
As Garibaldi's troops begin the unification of Italy in the 1860s, an aristocratic Sicilian family grudgingly adapts to the sweeping social changes undermining their way of life. Proud but pragmatic Prince Don Fabrizio Salina allows his war hero nephew, Tancredi, to marry Angelica, the beautiful daughter of gauche, bourgeois Don Calogero, in order to maintain the family's accustomed level of comfort and political clout.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stately, painterly meditation on a Sicilian aristocracy watching their world dissolve beneath them. Visconti renders historical upheaval as intimate tragedy, less a story of political change than of a proud man coming to terms with irrelevance and age.
