The winter of 1917, the North-East front, the final clashes of the Great War. An Italian stronghold situated at 1800 metres above sea level, on the Asiago plateau, described in the novels of Mario Rigoni Stern. It’s snowing everywhere the Austrian trenches are so close that you can hear the enemy soldiers breathing. A hundred years since the outbreak of World War I, maestro Ermanno Olmi describes with Torneranno i prati his vision of a conflict that cost the lives of 16 million human beings, just as it was brought back to him by the memory of his father, called to arms at 19 years of age, to find himself within the bloodbath of Carso and Piave. A drama that scarred his youth and the rest of his life, just like millions of others.
战栗之诗，为老导演再加一星
国内战争影视剧永远在展现那个几个英雄，缺乏了对战争残酷的表现和反思，对于战争的本质没有深入思考是不可能拍出好片的。
很安静的一部电影，具有反战色彩，没有激烈的战斗镜头，却能体现战争的残酷，人物情感的表现力很强。本片唯一的战斗镜头或许就是片尾那一段真实影像
一枪未放。悠闲导致思乡，倦怠导致溃散，敌人不打已自垮。
拍得“太”真实了，大部分对话松软分散。气氛烘托的很真实，不过要不是我被关在影院，我绝对看不下去。还有就是百丽宫的空调太应景了，把我都冻感冒了。 =(
