The Netflix version, although it does not match Luchino Visconti’s modern classic, has a more than acceptable level, and the duration allows more details of the book to be covered than the film set aside.
The cinema taliban snorted annoyed to the single news of the premiere of “The catpardo” In Netflix Miniserie version. Who dares to rebuild what the teacher Luchino Visconti Have you done so wonderfully? Which artists intend to up to Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale? Can a television librettist adapt the novel of Lampedusa better than the great Suso Cecchi de Amico and Pasquale Festa Campanile? Not to mention the photograph of Giuseppe Rotunnoworthy of being appreciated on a large screen, or the scenery, the costumes, the rest of the cast, the music of the excellent Nino brokenanyway.
And, yes, there are some English (for topics English) who dared to make their own version. Richard Warlow, Tom Shankland At the head, people who have only made series for English television. Now they left the island and put together a co -production with Italians who also make series. At least that of music falls sympathetic to us. Is called Paolo Buonvino. And you have to recognize it, the general level is more than good.
A well -careful production, with the due deployment of visual attractions, disturbing situations, characters in conflict and distribution of good performers, who will not have the charism of those mythical film artists but are good. At the beginning Kim Rossi Stuart seems BURT LANCASTER After the flu- this cannot be avoided- but little by little the character grows. Ironically, he is a character that grows as his power and forces decrease. We are talking about the so -called risorgimento, 1860, when Italy began to unify in blood and fire undermining privileges of the aristocracy for the benefit of a bourgeoisie that did not improve things too much.
The miniseries has a great advantage: As practically two hours more than the movie, you can take more pages of the book. That allows him to develop a broader illustration in history, more full of episodes, of incisive dialogues, with his three main figures: the Sicilian prince who, before the historical changes, retains the manor and respect even if he must make concessions and mix with his inferior mature by force of losses, disappointments and late reflections. This character, Lampedusa and Visconti developed little. Here, without betraying the novel, it goes to the fore. The female audience appreciates it.
Giuseppe Tomasi de Lampedusa It was called the author of the novel, which they say is inspired by the life of his own grandfather. Both princes without a crown but with estates that allowed them to reach the end of the month without problems. For the author, his biggest problems were when he fell prisoner during the First War, make his mother and his wife with each other, both of a strong nature, and publish his novel. From the prison escaped, he walked for days, returned to combat and ended the war with the degree of lieutenant. At home, his wife left and only returned when the mother died. And the novel, in life did not find who would like to edit it. A year after his death, a good editor just appeared. The book was an immediate success, won all the awards, was taken to the cinema. Now it has not been reissued for a long time. Hopefully, with the miniseries, some specimens appear in old libraries (and hopefully the Taliban, pure Contreras, get a good copy of the film to exhibit it again on a large screen).
