Visconti's chronicle of a Sicilian family's disintegration after its uprooting and resettling in industrial Milan equals the scale and sweep and social minutiae of very fat novels. It originates in the realist tradition, but its shriekingly operatic stylization, on justifiable occasions, carries it along Visconti's own private tributary. With Alain Delon, Annie Girardot, Renato Salvatore, and Claudia Cardinale. (1960) — Duncan Shepherd
