Review of L'Amore (1948) by Anthony C — 23 Sep 2013
Two shorts within this 78 minute feature than exemplify the suffering of a peasant woman (Anna Magnani). Ranks among the same quality as director Roberto Rossellini's film "Stromboli": lots of misery, but not much else.
I suppose the setting makes it more atmospheric in that is demonstrates a very poor Italy in the country side, but it becomes indulgent after a while. It is okay, but overall, it is not a complete success.
A general disappointment from the director, unlike his great "Rome: Open City" from 1945.
