Sinekatalog’s take

Francesco Rosi's drama adapts Carlo Levi's memoir of a Turin exile in a forgotten Lucanian village. Gian Maria Volonté is quietly superb, and the film's patient, dusty realism builds a stirring picture of the South.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
