    Received a greeting card from the Apennine, scribbled ink stains the oil painting on the back. With that picture, imagine the sunrise and sunset there, the reincarnation of the four seasons, and the chants from afar. I know all those things, so why do you only report happiness and not worry on the...

    Simple and simple narration of the stories of farmers, extremely life-like passages, without the only protagonist, they are all protagonists. The various farming tasks of the adults, the play of the children, the shy love, and every detail in the film presents the peasant's hard life and innocence. They are all real enough to touch the hearts of every audience. Such movies are really rare. Fortunately, watching...

    A clog, a love, an expulsion, a helplessness. The rhythm of life is drawn in white lines, and the final climax is to smash the consciousness that seems to be "poor but barely able to live". The division of classes and the arbitrary disposal of the poor peasants by the landlords have left the lower classes with no right to live at all. The family that had to leave and the neighbors who didn't even come out to say goodbye were the witnesses of that era of...

    This film can make people understand the real life of farmers, and it is an ordinary film that faithfully records the living conditions of the four seasons in the countryside. Its only value is "real", and "real" is boring and...

    The old man liked it very much and watched it twice. This is a very solid movie that deserves to be savored in detail. To make this kind of film, one cannot do without extraordinary self-confidence. The director combined the director, filmmaker, and cut into one, showing his determination. But this slow rhythm is not suitable for watching at noon. I took a nap both times. When I woke up, my father put a cotton jacket on...

    The three hours are very smooth, and the trivial life of three farmers on a piece of land is interspersed back and forth. The arrival of the two newborns and the wedding is the warm current of hope in the whole film, but it can't match the sadness of the family being expelled away in the sound of prayers at the...

    Olmi can always photograph a universal beauty. Although different countries and even different eras, he can always evoke certain memories from the movies. Life is probably like this. The farm is the protagonist of the film, and the actions of everyone on the farm make up this breathing whole. The scheduling in many places is excellent, not greedy for a certain plot, but only driven by characters. The calm daily records even downplay the conflict, but it is definitely not documentary-style, and...
