Additional Information
Acclaimed director Luchino Visconti's (DEATH IN VENICE) powerful epic is one of the most internationally adored Italian films in history. The story of a poor family torn apart by lust and greed, ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS stars the gorgeous French actor Alain Delon as Rocco, a soft-spoken, idealistic young man who must deal with turmoil and competition when he and his 3 brothers set out to Milan in an attempt to make a fortune. The recipient of several prestigious awards, Visconti's drama is a highly affecting story of passion, greed, and family.
