A moving, inspired film, a beautiful story of a tormented and unconventional life, a film made of small details, expressions, faces, landscapes, an acting performance that enters the history of cinema.
The story of the Italian province in the early twentieth century is very well done and the dialect of the people of the river Po is fascinating.
Even the supporting characters are very centered and credible, a film which in many aspects recalls the best tradition of neorealism.
The true beauty of cinema is this, knowing how to tell stories without bombastic scenes and special effects but with the strength and enigma of existence.
