Riso Amaro (Bitter Rice) is an Italian film with English subtitles that is a prime example of neorealism cinema. Italian neorealism (neorealismo), also known as the Golden Age of Italian Cinema, was a national film movement characterized by stories set amongst the poor and the working class. Filmed on location, frequently with non-professional actors, these films primarily address the tough economic and moral conditions of post-World War II Italy. Nominated for Best Story at the 1950 Academy Awards and was entered into the 1949 Cannes Film Festival. By 2008, the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage named it one of 100 Italian films that "changed the collective memory of the country".
