Description: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 stockings
"Bitter Rice" (original title: "Riso Amaro") is a landmark 1949 Italian neorealist film directed by Giuseppe De Santis, now available in stunning Blu-Ray format from Criterion. Set against the backdrop of Italy's rice fields, the story follows two women?Silvana Mangano as Silvana and Doris Dowling as Francesca?caught between crime, love, and survival during the annual rice-planting season. The film blends social commentary with noir elements to create a gripping narrative about class struggle and female solidarity. Criterion is renowned for its meticulous restorations and insightful supplements that celebrate cinema history; their edition ensures viewers experience "Bitter Rice" at its best. Director Giuseppe De Santis was a key figure in Italian neorealism, also known for works like "Caccia Tragica." Silvana Mangano became an international star through this role and later appeared in classics such as "Death in Venice." Vittorio Gassman delivers a compelling performance as Walter; he would go on to become one of Italy?s most celebrated actors with films like "Big Deal on Madonna Street." The ensemble cast includes Raf Vallone, another acclaimed actor recognized for his powerful roles throughout European cinema.
