NEW 4K RESTORATION
Directed by Marco Bellocchio
Music by Ennio Morricone
(1965) Ah, la famiglia. In a country house outside Piacenza, a blind mother holds all the deeds, while elder brother Augusto, the only one with a job, wants to marry his way out, but it's hard to do after his fiancee receives an incriminating letter, obviously from sister Giulia, who in turn has to fend off under-the-table footsying from epileptic brother Lou Castel and his barely suppressed rage (think of the title)
Add man-child youngest brother Leone, some murder attempts (two successful), an epileptic fit or two, and Castel's magnetically hateful performance for a scabrous look at an Italian institution - Bellocchio's debut. (The villa was borrowed from his own mother.) DCP restoration. Approx. 105 min.
