Riso Amaro - an italian film
Hi all,I was wondering how many of you have watched the famous film with Silvia Mangano, Vittorio Gasman and Doris Dowling.
Here are some more info about the film:
Riso Amaro (Bitter Rice) by Giuseppe De SanctisIt was a product of the Italian neorealism style.The film was nominated for the 1950 Academy Award for Best Story. It was also entered into the 1949 Cannes Film Festival. The Italian title is based on a pun: since the Italian word riso means both rice and laughter, Riso amaro is first read as bitter laughter, and then as bitter rice, in reference to the story.
(source: wikipedia)I really love this film, not only because of the interesting plot ( and the actor Gasman ) but also because it represents the life and the italian history of the after-war years (WW2). You can watch some of the most famous scenes from the film here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHxnvxclme0Some good reviews of the film are here:http://filmup.leonardo.it/opinioni/op.php?uid=1493 (unluckily they are in Italian but if you know of a good English review it is welcomed)
