About This Movie
La carne e l'anima is a striking post-war drama that really encapsulates the turmoil of its time. Directed by émigré Vladimir Strizhevsky, the film is steeped in a palpable sense of loss and longing, all set against the backdrop of Italy's painful history. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional weight of each scene to sink in, which is complemented by the haunting performances of Miranda and Girotti—both before they hit their neo-realist stride. The film’s practical effects, though modest, serve the stark realism and enhance the overall atmosphere, giving it a raw, unfiltered edge. There’s a haunting quality to the storytelling that lingers long after viewing, making it a rather distinctive piece in the canon of early Italian cinema.
