Sinekatalog’s take
Sicilian farmers go through the daily rituals of harvest in wheat fields gold with sun. The imagery is beautiful and unhurried, and the sound builds a calm rhythm. A warm choice for those who love documentary on rural labour.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
