Rome, Open City
Based on true the story of Don Morosi, a priest and Resistance worker shot by the Germans in wartime Rome, Roberto Rossellini's first feature after the Mussolini era has become synonymous with Italian neo-realism. Shot on the locations where the events actually happened, using hand-held cameras, film bought from street photographers, and a largely non-professional cast, Rome, Open City still retains its remarkable immediacy, its sense of life captured as it happens.

Poor subtitles & video, but four & a half stars
Made in 1945, but impressively realist & fresh, 'Open City' needs a new edition with FULL subtitles. All the characters were credible, the buildings... read more »
