Rocco and his Brothers

Directed by Luchino Visconti

Visconti returns to the working-class neighbourhoods of his earlier films, but the treatment here is dramatic in the grand manner. A southern Italian family migrates to Milan in the hope of betterment. As in SENSO, the drama is underpinned by a Marxist analysis of Italian society.
