Rating:  - AMERICAN MOVIES WILL NEVER BE THIS GOOD
I luckily discovered a copy of this excellent film in a discount bin in Mexico, with Spanish subtitles. The DVD compression is excellent and represents the full vision. The Spanish subtitles faithfully and fully follow the dialogue, which is poignant and profound and powerful.
We should be so lucky one day to produce a culture capable of producing a film such as this one, full of the parallax of multiple viewpoints of life, as full as James Joyce`s Ulysses or Kurasawa`s Roshamon in ... Read More
Rating: - Mediocre DVD, but an emotional and beautiful movie
This is a fairly poor DVD reproduction of a beautiful, sad and melancholic movie about life, death, and much else. Three brothers are summoned to their old house in the countryside of Southern Italy when their father announces the death of their mother (whom, we implicitly learn, has long been sick).
The brothers are very different from each other, but all appear to be very decent men struggling to remain loyal to what they believe in, and to endure the very different hardships of their ... Read More
Rating: - A beautiful film that praises the simple life
It's hard to think of a more beautiful and poignant movie. Three brothers who have lived separate lives in different Italian cities come home to their father's farm for their mother's funeral.

The brothers arrive with all the anxieties and fears of living life in the big city: one brother is a judge fearful of terrorist persecution; ... Read More
Rating: - Far beyond the tears!
This is an admirable Italian artwork and one the most mature films of this decade.
Three brothers, have decided to establish his own life and certainly the expected brotherhood simply doesn't exist. Due their father's death, they coincide in the Funeral and far beyond the grief and pain, this encounter will allow them to rejoin and somehow to contrast the ineffable differences and standpoints.
Powerful and superb film!
Rating:  - good movie but....
Hands down the worst transfer to dvd I've ever seen. If you know Italian you'll still have the subs on because the sound is totally messed up. Dialogue comes in ever so faintly through the front left speaker instead of the center (and all the speakers are providing hiss. 5.0 surround hiss sound. and the image appears to be transfered from a video source instead of original elements. Result: video burps and vibrating black bars. Ridiculous. Normally I fall back and say: hey, at least it's available at ... Read More
