Bitter Rice
Riso amaro / Giuseppe De Santis / Italy 1949 / 108 min. / Blu-ray
Two things set Bitter Rice apart from the rest of this year’s Film Textbook selection. It wasn’t directed by Rossellini or De Sica and it became a blockbuster not only in Italy, or other European countries, but mainly in the United States. Bitter Rice is sometimes considered to be the first introduction of Neorealism to American audiences.
