Rosi’s brilliant film stars Gian Maria Volonte as Carlo Levi, a political exile banished to a village in southern Italy by Mussolini, where he experiences the alien world of poverty and despair. A deeply moving film full of faith in human values, and a subtly critical portrait of modern Italy. Co-written by Tonino Guerra (Ulysses’ Gaze, L’Avventura). In Italian with English subtitles.
