Last year, beloved actor Alain Delon (1935-2024) passed away, but his film legacy lives on forever. Delon entered the world of cinema in the 1950s and became more well-known in the 1960s. In March, which is also Francophone Month, a selection of Delon's films from the 1960s will be released in cinemas in four different Estonian cities. Cinema Sõprus is delighted to be showing Luchino Visconti's timeless classic "Rocco and His Brothers" in its cinema, which can be considered the threshold of Delon's career.

Joining the exodus of millions from Italy’s impoverished south, a matriarch and her sons move to Milan in search of a better life in the industrial north. But, as they inch up the social ladder, family bonds are shredded, and saintly Rocco’s love for a sex worker drives his brutish brother to crime.

The Alain Delon Film Days are supported by the French Institute in Estonia and the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
