Leave your thoughts about La Terra Trema.
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectOperatic neo-realist tale of downtrodden fishermen |
| Parallax ViewSean AxmakerIt's as if Sicily has existed in a bubble, unchanging for a century as sons take over the boats of their fathers and children apprentice at their feet, taking their place in "a hopeless slavery." |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyVisconti used real Sicilian fishermen as non-actors expressing their circumstances and beliefs. The effect is a powerful portrait of graceful human dignity caught between the cruelty of the sea and opportunistic greed. |
| User ReviewBenjamin WThe high point of the first strain of neorealism which for me links the movement more closely with its origins-Von Stroheim and Greed. There is the unbroken chain of realist directors who learned from each other not only from viewing each other's movies, but from personal interaction...Von Stroheim, Renoir, and Visconti. |
| User ReviewEdgar CA longstanding monument of neo-realism made by an aspiring Italian communist that openly criticized neoliberalism in the world's economy. Labor exploitation has always been a politically important issue. La Terra Trema: Episodio del Mare is a controversial and extraordinary masterpiece, even visually, with the powerful presence of the sea as an inert character, as a prophet of upcoming misfortunes. Nature is not the one to blame, or destiny, for that matter; it's the economic structure. 100/100 |
| User ReviewDaniel MOne of the biggest exponents of the italian neorealism,being surpassed only by Bicycle Thieves,in the same year. |
| User ReviewDimitris SBlack and white films used to prevent us several times from actually noticing the underlying notes.The incredible fact is..Terra Trema must be one of the openly,politically charged emeralds of film-making.The fishermen are nothing more but pawns of the system,the all-seeing machine. |
| User ReviewTiberio S"La Terra trema" is director Luchino Visconti at his very best. |
| User ReviewEduardo CItalian Neo-realist masterpiece done with narration about postwar peasant fishermen struggling to survive. |
| User ReviewMartin SVan dos veces y podria volverla a ver.... cuantas veces sea necesaria. |
