Synopsis
The Leopard (Il Gattopardo, 2025) is a sweeping historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Sicily, the 1860s: Garibaldi's redshirts land on the island and the old aristocratic order begins to crack. At its centre stands Don Fabrizio, Prince of Salina, watching his class fade.
Fabrizio grasps before anyone else that holding on will mean letting go — that survival costs the family its certainties. His nephew Tancredi throws in with the revolution and falls for Angelica, daughter of a newly rich social climber whose money now outweighs any coat of arms. Kim Rossi Stuart plays the prince; Benedetta Porcaroli and Deva Cassel are the women around whom the new order takes shape. Across eight episodes the family saga plays out against Italian unification.
The series adapts Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's only novel — the same book Luchino Visconti filmed in 1963 with Burt Lancaster. This version gives the story room to breathe: lavish costumes, Sicilian light and an age dissolving in slow motion. If you love Downton Abbey or large-scale period drama, it'll land.
