Considered one of the great lost classics of Italian neo-realism, this bleak drama was the debut feature of filmmaker Marco Bellocchio. Sympathetic to Augusto's plight, Alessandro decides to murder the rest of the family so as to set his brother free and assure him of an inheritance.
Excellently shocking drama with a cast of sensational actors especially Marino Mase (Contamination 1980, The Red Queen Kills Seven Times, Kidnap Syndicate, TV series Jericho 1967, Tenebrae, Live Like a Cop Die Like a Man etc.) who brings a demeanor of quality and authenticity to this unique film. Stark and starling, this film will leave you shocked and stunned at the same time. Fabulous!
