An extraordinary historical epic in spaghetti style. The film traces nearly all of 19th-century Italy through the lives of three brothers from Southern Italy and their experiences during the Risorgimento, which led to the unification of Italy. A grand plot, impeccable historical reconstruction, wonderful actors, sublime cinematography, captivating music and a tear-jerking finale. Probably one of the best historical film ever made, certainly in Italy. The director, after all, has often directed theater productions with triumphant results. Some may not appreciate the slowness of certain sequences, but I recommend that everyone stick it out until the end.
