Fists in the Pocket (Criterion Collection)

Epileptic Allesandro (Lou Castel) felt guilty that his big brother Augusto (Marino Masé)should be burdened with his care, as well as that of their two similarly afflicted siblings and blind mother. His remedy, though, involved disposing of the infirm clan--including himself--one by one. Family dysfunction has rarely been as bleak--or as memorable--as in this landmark debut effort from writer/director Marco Bellocchio. Paola Pitagora, Liliana Gerace, Pier Luigi Troglio also star. 108 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English; interviews; theatrical trailer. In Italian with English subtitles.
