Synopsis
Filmed in the still war-torn streets of Rome shortly after the Nazi withdrawal, Roberto Rossellini’s Open City is considered his greatest work and the definitive example of Italian neo-realist cinema. Shot on scavenged ends of film, this classic war saga - based on a real-life account of a priest’s heroic struggle against the fascists - in which members of the Italian resistance try to smuggle badly needed cash out of Nazi-occupied Rome, is infused with documentary-like imagery and highly immediate and authentic performances. (They were so real in fact that many wrongly assumed that the film was improvised even though Federico Fellini has a writing credit). But while the rough cinema verite feel, with its natural lighting, was a pragmatic necessity, the style successfully conveyed the tragic circumstances of ordinary citizens and won Open City the Palm d’Or at Cannes in 1945.
