Rocco and His Brothers was suggested by our member Odette Bibb, who writes: 'Please can you screen Rocco and His Brothers, Visconti, 1960. It’s on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage 100 films that changed the collective memory of the country and is superb..'

Italian maestro Luchino Visconti’s epic drama follows a mother and her five sons who move from a small town to Milan, changing their lives forever. This hypnotically beautiful tale of relocation, loss and sacrifice became a huge influence on the work of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. Starring the legendary Alain Delon in one of his most iconic roles, Rocco and His Brothers is considered one of the last neo-realist films and bridges the gap wonderfully between the old and the new in terms of both story and artistry
