- Three Brothers (Tre Fratelli) explores similarly knotty social and political territory through the seemingly straightforward story of three siblings returning to their native southern Italy to pay homage to their late mother.

Three points of view. - Three Brothers review by RhysH
"Tre Fratelli" tells the moving story of three brothers returning to the south of Italy for their mother's funeral. They symbolise different aspects of modern Italian society. Francesco Rosi was known as a crusading, political director who pointed out the inequalities of the economically depressed Italian south and while "Three Brothers" touches on terrorism, workers' rights and religion it does so with a very light touch.
Much of the film is overly sentimental, almost to the point of cliché, it is saved by the beauty of the shooting, the buildings, the people. It is a joy to watch.
