Three Brothers

"Full of startling clarity and beauty, of extraordinary sweetness, of the discovery of unexpected reserves of emotion." -The New York Times

One of the most powerful Italian films, Francesco Rosi's riveting feature about the lives and dreams of three brothers re-united in their small home town was nominated for an Academy Award. The three brothers - Phillippe Noiret, Michele Placido and Vittorio Mezzogiorno, each in a masterful performance - are summoned home by their father. Here, in the sunlight of the Italian countryside, they face their connection to each other and to themselves, in a film that is at once beautiful, full of humanity, and emotionally shattering.
