Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Three siblings return home to their native southern Italy to pay homage to their late mother. However, their various professions—a judge in Rome, a spiritual counsellor in Naples, a factory worker in Turin—have a profound effect on their response to this reunion.

This lyrical film from Francesco Rosi explores the turbulent social landscape of Italy’s Years of Lead, a time of intense civil unrest that began in the 1960s. A compelling drama with a sharp political edge, Three Brothers makes for a fascinating companion piece to Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers.
