Bitter Rice (1949)

£0.00

(Riso Amaro)


Country: IT
Technical: bw 108m
Director: Giuseppe de Santis
Cast: Silvana Mangano, Raf Vallone, Vittorio Gassman, Doris Dowling

Synopsis:

Criminals use work in the paddy fields of the Po valley as cover to plan for their next job, using their newfound workmates as accomplices.

Review:

A huge hit commercially, with Mangano up to her thighs in the rice fields not hurting any, De Santis's melodrama cunningly uses neo-realist trappings in a way similar to Ossessione. Underneath, though, it's just another spiv drama.
