Force is a small province in Italy. And in this very Force, at the turn of the 40s of the last century, there was a tragic story of love and blood. The intriguing title of the painting does not deceive. The wolf is not the name of the person who will be the hero of this story. Wolf is the name of a dog that will play an important role in this drama. The film captures from the first minutes and the subsequent action does not disappoint.
Young Pietro and Orsola love each other. But Pietro is poor, and Orsola has a brother, Don Rocco, who is skeptical of people outside his circle. But this skepticism does not prevent young people from meeting in secret. In one of these meetings, near the place of their secret meeting, a guy is killed and Pietro is detained on suspicion in this case. Orsol can testify and protect his beloved, but let’s not forget about Don Ricco. This is the beginning of this picture.
The first violin in this film is played by Silvana Mangano and plays just great. By the way, in this picture I liked it much more than in his time acclaimed “Bitter rice”. The small role of Vittorio Gassman does not make the picture faceless, because other characters, including Signora Silvana, are very expressive.
The movie is very relevant at this time. And put quite competently and qualified despite the fact that the Director Duilio Coletti no one has heard. Fans of old Italian tapes should like this picture, especially since the story is not at all drawn out, but laid down exactly in 75 minutes of screen time.
