Our take
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.
