Bitter Rice (Criterion Collection) [Used Very Good Blu-ray]

Description: Bitter Rice (Criterion Collection) [Used Very Good Blu-ray] Title: Bitter Rice (Criterion Collection) Format: Blu-ray Label: Criterion Collection Genre: Foreign-Italian, Drama UPC: 715515165112 Release Date: 2016 Originally released as Riso Amaro, Bitter Rice was one of the landmark films of the postwar Italian neorealist movement. Silvana Mangano portrays one of hundreds of women toiling slavishly in the Po Valley rice fields. She is courted by two men: respectable Raf Vallone and no-good fugitive from justice Vittorio Gassman. Mangano chooses Gassman, a decision which brings disaster not only to her but to her co-workers. The rice-field scenes are realistic enough to pass muster as documentary footage, though they tend to be undercut in the English-language version by the amateurish dubbing. Critics were unanimous in their praise for Bitter Rice; their words were, however, ignored by the male fans who came to see the film solely on the strength of the now-famous production still of the buxom Silvana Mangano standing in the rice field wearing tight shorts and torn black stockingsCopyright DirectToU LLC.
