rocco and his brothers

This tale of relocation, loss and sacrifice charts the fortunes of a family who move from the rural south to find work in Milan during the industrial and economic boom. Of the five brothers accompanying their mother, Alain Delon’s Rocco is tasked with trying to manage the hedonistic appetites of Renato Salvatori’s Simone. They fall into the world of boxing, but when they also fall in love with the same woman, their loyalties are tested and the family threatens to break apart.

Also starring Claudia Cardinale (The Leopard), with an acclaimed score by composer Nino Rota (The Godfather).
