Films of Luchino Visconti
The uncut and uncensored 177-minute version of Luchino
Visconti’s masterpiece chronicles family loyalty and disintegration,
and is one of the most powerful and emotionally
charged movies ever made. Rosaria Parondi and her five sons
journey north to Milan to seek a better life but the industrial
north proves just as unforgiving as the desolate south. Simone
becomes the first brother to find success – but his career as a
boxer flounders when he meets Nadia, a beautiful prostitute.
When Simone’s possessiveness drives Nadia away, she falls in
love with his younger brother, Rocco. The lovers set in motion
a shattering chain of events for which the family’s traditional
values leave them unprepared. (35mm presentation)
