Rocco and His Brothers
NC

179 mins – Italy 1960 – Subtitles
Director: Luchino Visconti
Starring: Alain Delon, Renato Salvatori and Annie Girardot


ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS is a hypnotically beautiful tale of relocation, loss and sacrifice which charts the fortunes of a family who move from a farm in the rural south to find work in modern Milan during the industrial and economic boom. Of the five brothers accompanying their mother, Rocco (Alain Delon) is tasked with trying to manage the hedonistic appetites of Simone (Renato Salvatori). They both fall into the shadowy world of boxing, but when they also fall in love with the same woman, sex worker Nadia (Annie Girardot), their loyalties are tested and the family threatens to break apart. The film features a young Claudia Cardinale (THE LEOPARD, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST) in one of her early roles and has an acclaimed score by composer Nino Rota (THE GODFATHER, THE LEOPARD).

Martin Scorsese describes it as “a masterpiece” and “one of the most sumptuous black and white pictures I’ve ever seen” and Francis Ford Coppola has cited it as an inspiration for THE GODFATHER. Do not miss this chance to see a bonafide classic of Italian cinema back on the big screen.
