REVIEWED By Nick Barbaro, Wed., Jan. 31, 2001
Visconti returns to Milan, the city of his birth, in this story about the politics of class involved in the move to the big city of a family of impoverished southerners. Most memorable are Giuseppe Rotunno's stunning black-and-white cinematography – especially when lighting the impossibly beatific Delon (as Rocco) – and the baroque brutality of the fight scenes.
