    The life of several tenant farmers in the Italian countryside at the end of the 19th century is mainly about people's daily labor scenes. There are few plot elements, the narrative is very loose, the rhythm is slow, the dialogue is less emotional, and the simple rural life is restored. The camera positions are varied, and most of them are fixed shots. clip. There are many interesting details of life, the little boy who went to church to go to school, the grandfather who hoped for a good harvest...

    It feels like living with them in this village for a year. At the beginning, I remembered my childhood in the countryside 20 years ago. I remembered sharing my bed with my grandma. She asked me to scratch her back, and then I turned my back and asked her to scratch me too. I remembered being in the yard on a summer night. Putting up a bamboo pole, lying down, watching the stars, enjoying the shade, and telling stories...Maybe it's all my...

    A 3-hour pseudo-drama, the old lady's footbinding. The director can be called the Italian version of Wang Bing. What is stronger than Wang Bing is that the film language is more documentary-like. A few passages of Bach are far from deepening the conflict and the sense of fate. Stream of Life Stream of consciousness does not mean that there are no ups and downs at all. The turkey played by the landlord's children has a wrong tone, and the dazzling part skips over and doesn't play. This landlord...

    The 1978 Cannes Palme d'Or award-winning film, the last splendor of Italian neorealism. Through the 3-hour viewing, you can understand the life of the bottom peasants in northern Italy at the end of the 19th century, which is a bloody history of poor people being exploited by ruthless...

    siff17. It is too beautiful to endure stomach pain for 3 hours without food. Each frame is like Miller's oil painting, crying three times in the middle, and Bach, who floats on the country road like the sound of church bells, cannot dispel the suffering of the world, but can comfort the soul. The religious historical accumulation originated in the Apennine Peninsula finally returns to the universal proposition of nature-human nature. Turn-of-the-century changes can be compared to the...

    A lot of overlook, a lot of bach. Olmi’s beliefs are stronger than any of the neo-realist predecessors. I always feel that the period when the young couple went to Milan dispelled the homesickness and made the film a bit unbalanced. Wang Bing's "Three Sisters" is more conscious in this...

    It starts with Border Town and ends with the violinist on the roof, and the long three-hour weak plot is not boring at all. The large-scale style and style of painting shows the working life of the feudal tenant farmers, which not only has the pleasure of being at ease, but also the poverty and misery under the exploitation and oppression. A life of poverty and ignorance is maintained by religious belief, and can belief really bring salvation? Photography is great. @2017SIFF10/11SFC...

    #2017SIFF# A quiet and powerful movie. Poverty and faith are the two themes in their lives, probably because the actors are all non-professionals, they don't have much performance traces, they have a documentary quality, very real and natural. Every family is working hard to survive, and the final outcome is too realistic and too sad, I like this family. 2017.6.25 @Yonghua Hall...
