• About the Movie ( 1960, 177 min. ) : Rocco e i suoi fratelli ( Rocco and his brothers ) One of the great films of the 1960s and after, Rocco and His Brothers concentrates upon a clash of values between a traditional southern peasant family and its code of honour and family loyalty and a more individualistic, contemporary morality reflecting industrialization in northern Italy. Rosaria, matriarchal ruler of the Parondi clan arrives in Milan by train with her five sons, each of them representing a possible response to the immigrant problems. Presented in five distinct sections, the film weaves the story of Vincenzo, Simone, Rocco, Ciro and Luca as they struggle to adapt to life in a large, impersonal city. The plot revolves around the prostitute, Nadia ( French actress Annie Girardot ), who is pursued and desired by both Simone and Rocco. In a typical style for a director known for helping build Italian neorealism, the film ends with no substantive resolution, but with clouds of doom hanging over the family.
