Made in 1965, this movie does for family life what WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? does for the institution of marriage: highlight every base impulse lying beneath the surface of our everyday interactions. The cast of characters includes a fratricidal, homicidal sociopath (brilliantly portrayed by Lou Castel); an intellectually-stunted younger brother; a scheming, beautiful sister; a suave, handsome older brother, Augusto; and their blind mother, all living in the decaying family estate. Augusto's plans include selling the house so he can get married and move to a nice apartment in the city. But the cold, unflinching Sandro has other ideas for his family. What makes Sandro so chilling is his absolute ordinariness. And Bellochio has Sandro reveal himself slowly, as when he torments a young boy sent to him for tutoring. In the absence of a real father, Augusto may think he is the family patriarch, but we know better. The relationship between Sandro and his sister is almost certainly incestuous. It is no wonder Freud detailed this as the ultimate taboo when you see the dynamic it creates in this particular family. This is a brilliant, shocking film with a screen villain you won't soon forget....
