sean O. @seandaddy0 Jan 24 A part of history I was unaware of. See more Isa B @RT32418990 01/14/2025 The camera work is impressive in Bitter Rice. The screenplay is great as is the acting. There was a team of writers for this film, so that can explain the well-written screenplay. They certainly wrote well together. Afterall, Bitter Rice was nominated for Best Story in the 1950 Academy Awards. Silvana can be seen with her eyes open right before she closes them, even though she had been deceased since the previous night. It is hard to imagine how such a glaring mistake made the final cut. Even still, Bitter Rice is a great film with a strong ending. I recommend. 91/100 See more 09/13/2021 Must see Italian realism, with unique scenes of the seasonal rice harvesting workforce. See more 02/12/2021 From the show stopping extended opening sequence, in which our criminals, stolen necklace in hand, attempt to evade the police at their heels by blending into the throng of departing female workers at the train station, it's obvious we're in the hands of an energized visual storyteller, one with empathy to spare. Bitter Rice is both a beautiful and respectable black and white neorealist portrait, and a fully functional crackling, sexy crime drama. As it takes its plot to the watery fields themselves for the duration of the story, it becomes apparent that Bitter Rice is at once "a film" and "a movie".

Unfortunately it descends into schlock by the end and we've got a cheesy shoot out between the two main characters. See more 08/22/2013 Interessante l'ambientazione nelle campagne con le mondine, il resto della trama pero' non e' cosi' forte e inoltre sembra tutto un po' prevedibile. See more Read all reviews
