The ITALIAN CANADIAN CULTURAL ASSOCIATION
is pleased to invite all the members to celebrate
“Festa della Liberazione”
Sunday April 25th at 2:00 pm (Club Room)
(Admission $5)
We will screen the award-winning
“The Leopard”
from the novel of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
directed by Luchino Visconti
starring: Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon.
The Plot
In the 1860s, a dying aristocracy struggles to maintain itself against a harsh Sicilian landscape. The film traces with a slow
and deliberate rhythm the waning of the noble home of Fabrizio Corbero, Prince of Salina (the Leopard) and the
corresponding rise to eminence of the enormously wealthy ex-peasant Don Calogero Sedara. The prince himself refuses to
take active steps to halt the decline of his personal fortunes or to help build a new Sicily but his nephew Tancredi, Prince of
Falconeri swims with the tide and assures his own position by marrying Don Calogero's beautiful daughter Angelica. The
climatic scene is the sumptuous forty-minute ball, where Tancredi introduces Angelica to society.
