𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Credited with igniting the neorealist genre, this stunning drama was Roberto Rossellini's revelation, a harrowing story about the Nazi occupation of Rome and the brave few who struggled against it. ROME, OPEN CITY is a shockingly authentic experience that finds warmth and humor in everyday life. Conceived and directed amid the ruin of World War II, it remains a film of electric drama and high emotion, as well as a major turning point in film history. In Italian w/ subtitles.
