Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. The title translates to 'The Mill on the Po'.

Il Mulino del Po was based on a novel by Riccardo Baccheli. Essentially the story of young lovers kept separated by family rivalries, the film is distinguished by its evocative location photography, and the embracing of local customs and lore. Director Alberto Lattuada also manages to insert what one historian has labelled his "progressive ideology" into the proceedings. The romantic plotline is placed in context within the events leading up to the famous Po Valley farmers' strike of 1876; characteristically, Lattuada offers a topical political slant to the facts at hand. As in his other neorealist films, Lattuada manages to bridge the gap between art and box-office appeal in Il Mulino del Po. The screenplay was co-written by Federico Fellini.
