Review of Rocco and His Brothers (1960) by Scott R — 11 Feb 2018
A tale of Italian human tragedy. Set in post WWII, where a mother moves her family of five boys from the impoverished South to the big city of Milan for better opportunity. They then struggle maintaining their dignity in compromising to keep up appearances.
It is realist in its telling, and the tragedy came when they did not make Simone pay for his crimes. It also shows the Italian culture that wears their emotions on their sleeves. It was a bit long winded, despite this it was filled with truths, tragedy and beauty.
1001 movies to see before you die.
