When i saw the movie length i discouraged a bit, but actually despite nothing particularly extraordinary happens, the movie flew along easily. Maybe because it's a film about a part of life i've already lived, maybe because it's extraordinarily simple in the best meaning of the word.It's a very natural movie and natural it's the way it' acted, brilliantly.Moving in some parts, very well shot, beautiful photography, a very brilliant and true film about life.

Harsh, cynical fate narrated in this plot, that's also about the hardness and hypocrisy of power. Technically i'd say masterly shot, wonderful photography and locations, very good characters (actors).Very brilliant movie.

Beyond the plot that reminds me of neorealistic style, imho this is a film about the contrast between the ex-peasants and the big city. The formerly peasants who came from the rural areas are the only positive characters of the movie; the guy struggle to keep naive as he can, but ultimately the violence and the opportunism of the city catches him. A masterpiece.
