    Editorial Reviews

    Director Francesco Rosi earned a Best Foreign Film Academy Award nomination for his drama Tre Fratelli (Three Brothers), an adaptation of a work by Andrei Platonov. When the matriarch of an Italian family dies, the husband brings his three boys, each of whom are facing difficult personal problems, back to their farmhouse. Raffaele (Philippe Noiret) is a judge who fears being executed over the politically unsettling case over which he is presiding. Rocco (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) is quite religious and dreams of helping troubled teenagers. Nicola (Michele Placido) is a worker involved in a labor dispute as well as a failed marriage. Each of the men grieves in his own way, while also wrestling with the other emotional issues that are pressing on them. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

    April 19, 2003: This movie is about three brothers returning to their parents' country home in southern Italy for their mother's funeral. The story attempts to provide adequate background information on each brother and his present circumstances...but IMHO fails miserably at it. About all I could focus on was the breathtaking scenery associated with the rural italian landscape. That and the one brother who was easy on the eyballs. Since I rented this one for free at my local library---no great loss. But I had to watch it over the course of two nights because it became so darn boring after the first 1/2 hour or so. Also, everyone in the movie seemed to smoke like chimneys! UGH!
