Mark Lager, onSenses of Cinema, praised Giuseppe Rotunno's cinematography as "especially attuned to colour, composition, and perspective", particularly inLuchino Visconti'sThe Leopard andFederico Fellini'sAmarcord, writing "Rotunno’s cinematography inAmarcord is nostalgic as it presents the carnivalesque citizens and their daily lives during the four seasons in Fellini’s reimagined seaside village of Rimini. His cinematography inThe Leopard is elegant and panoramic as it surveys the rituals of the Sicilian nobility, centred upon Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina."[7]
