Rocco and his Brothers 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Alain Delon Luchino Visconti BFI British Film Institute

Luchino Visconti’s most powerful work, which went on to influence Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese!

Introducing BFI's 4K Ultra HD (Region Free) Limited Edition release for 1960's Rocco and his Brothers. Italian maestro Luchino Visconti’s (The Leopard) 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.
