BITTER RICE, Giuseppe De Santis’ impassioned postwar gem starring Silvana Mangano and Vittorio Gassman, opens this Friday, January 30, in a new 4K restoration. “A HIDDEN CLASSIC… Fuses the class-based politics— and the on-location authenticity—of neorealism with a smoldering romantic melodrama…. De Santis films the turbulent action with a blend of intimacy and spectacle, in exhilaratingly spontaneous dance scenes and shocking outbursts of violence.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker https://buff.l
