Synopsis

Director Marco Bellocchio began his career auspiciously with this unrelentingly bleak and harrowing work of Italian Neo-Realism. Unjustly ignored for decades, the drama paints a powerful portrait of a family wracked by illness, infidelity, suspicion, and depravity. Plagued by his relatives, Augusto (Marino Mase) is loathe to marry for fear of saddling his new bride with incorrigible in-laws. In an act of misguided sympathy, Augusto's brother Alessandro (Lou Castel) plots to murder his relatives as a means for freeing his brother. In Italian with English subtitles. Marco Bellocchio---Italy---1965---105 mins.

This movie about a dysfunctional family of epileptics is beautifully made and acted, with a good Ennio Morricone score, but the subject matter is extremely downbeat and not for every taste. At least the one guy seems to have gotten what he deserves.
