Production
The film is loosely based on the novel with the same name by Luigi Preti.[1] It was shot in the fall of 1968 between Ferrara, Cento, Tresigallo, Pomposa di Codigoro, and Albarella.[2]
The film, shot in black and white, marked the official debut as cinematographer of Vittorio Storaro.[3]
Reception
A contemporary Variety review described the film as 'an unpretentious but subtle and conscientious low-budgeter' noting: 'Rossi deliberately envelopes the neo-realistic yarn in intermittent modern styling. Rapid cutting, free camera, overlapping commentary and dialog and flash flashbacks—puzzling in spots—succeed in blending with the slower poetic passages of his Po Valley setting as well as the underpaced scenes of human and social conflict'.[4]
For this film, Vittorio Storaro won a Nastro d'Argento for Best Cinematography.[5]
