THREE BROTHERS

Francesco Rosi established himself as one of Italy’s greatest post-war chroniclers with riveting classics like SALVATORE GIULIANO. THREE BROTHERS explores similarly knotty socio-political territory, with the story of three siblings returning home to pay homage to their late mother. However, their various professions—a judge in Rome (Philippe Noiret), a spiritual counsellor in Naples (Vittorio Mezzogiorno), a factory worker in Turin (Michele Placido)—have a profound effect on their response to this reunion. THREE BROTHERS was a 1982 Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.
