Winner of the Bafta Award for best foreign language film, Italian director Francesco Rosi's 1979 masterpiece tells the story of the life-changing exile of anti-fascist intellectual Carlo Levi to a remote village in southern Italy.
The triumph of the human spirit is the theme of Rosi's epic film, in which Carlo Levi is exiled in 1935 by the ruling fascist dictatorship to a poverty-stricken village in the Basilicata region of southern Italy. Levi finds himself in a stark world little changed since the middle ages in which the peasants scratch a meagre living from the land. But as Levi grapples with this new environment, it is the peasants' wisdom, humanity and spirit that help him to cope with his sense of helplessness and isolation.
