Of the five brothers accompanying their mother, Rocco (Alain Delon) is tasked with trying to manage the hedonistic appetites of Simone (Renato Salvatori). They both fall into the shadowy world of boxing, but when they also fall in love with the same woman (Annie Giradot), loyalties are tested and the family threatens to break apart.

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.

"One of the most sumptuous black-and-white pictures I’ve ever seen" Martin Scorsese
