“The Leopard”: Better Than 3-D

After watching the re-mastered Italian version of the film I found Visconti’s ability to give depth, breadth and width to the images on the screen through lighting, placement of actors and angle of view, more powerful and true than any technically manipulated image requiring 3-D glasses.’
