The story of a family of Southern Migrants looking for a better life in Milan, Rocco and His Brothers is a study in social realism that is not ashamed to turn into a Greek tragedy. Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 1960 Venice Film Festival (which he refused to accept), Luchino Visconti’s masterpiece offered Annie Girardot the role of a lifetime as Nadia, a harlot caught between two brothers, Rocco (Alain Delon) and Simone (Renato Salvatori).
