As with a lot of Southern Italians (Meridionali) they move up to Northern Italy (Settentrionale) for a better life style. Things seem to go well but internal family problems threat to blow everything up. This is classic Visconti, a very daring film which is as realistic as they come. The entire cast, script and direction are perfection. It is a very long movie, but you will be glued to your seat regardless whether in a cinema as a revival or on home DVD. One can't get much better than a Luchino Visconti film.
