Three Brothers - Italian Film: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR THREE BROTHERS - ITALIAN...

As part of the Italian Film Festival titled Rome In Classic Italian Cinema organised by the Hyderabad Film Club at the Prasad Labs Preview Theatre, Three Brothers is being screened on 18th October. The movie will begin at 3pm.

Three Brothers is directed by Francesco Rosi, and runs for 113 minutes. The main cast includes Philippe Noiret, Michele Placido, Vittorio Mezzogiorno, Andrea Ferreol. It was the Italian nomination for the Academy Award, for the best foreign language film of 1981.

In a farmhouse in southern Italy, an old woman, the matriarch of an Italian family, dies. Her husband summons their 3 sons, each of whom are facing difficult personal problems, back to their farmhouse.

Raffaele (Philippe Noiret) is a successful judge in Rome whose thoughts are wrapped up in a case involving the terrorist assassination of one of his colleagues. Rocco (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) works for a delinquent boys' home in Naples, and Nicola (Michele Placido) is a militant Turin factor worker whose marriage has just broken up.

Gathered at the farm, they try to comfort their father (Charles Vanel), communicate with each other, remember the past, and think about the future. The sons encounter the past and think about what may come: Raffaele imagines his death, Rocco dreams of lifting the youth of Naples out of violence, drugs, and corruption, and Nicola pictures embracing his estranged wife. Meanwhile, the old man and his young granddaughter explore the rhythms of the farm and grieve together for his beloved wife.
