Once Upon a Brothers Grimm/Pinocchio [DVD]

Fight to survive against your brothers who have turned against you

Italian brothers and auteurs Paolo and Vittorio Taviani have collaborated on over 20 movies together in their seven-decade career, and now three of their most notable works are collected here on one Blu-ray. Padre Padrone, about a young shepherd (Fabrizio Forte) who moves beyond his provincial life and abusive father (Omero Antonutti) to discover his full potential, won the 1977 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or. The Night of the Shooting Stars, about a village venturing out to meet the advancing American troops promising to liberate them from German occupation, won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival. And Kaos, shot on location in Sicily, contains four stories intertwining in an anthology film that stars some of the Taviani Brothers' favorite actors like Massimo Bonetti and Margarita Lozano. In Italian with English subtitles.
