Synopsis Luchino Visconti's neo-realist masterpiece is a dramatic chronicle of class war, personal downfall and family disintegration as a poor southern Italian family struggles to adjust to life in the bleak northern industrial city of Milan.

One of five brothers, Simone finds success as a boxer but his career soon flounders when his lover Nadia, a beautiful prostitute, falls in love with his younger brother, Rocco. The lovers set in motion a shattering chain of events that destroy relations between the entire family, while the intransigent matriarch Rosaria continues to encourage her son's upward mobility.

The working class epic is the most dramatic and spectacular film of Visconti's astonishing career, with its sweeping, operatic style and homoerotic subtext, inspiring the work of filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. Rocco and His Brothers won numerous international awards, including the Venice Film Festival International Film Critics Award (1960).
