Legendary Italian writer and director Roberto Rossellini delivered his second masterpiece with this classic film set during the end of WWII. In six vignettes, the allied forces are shown discovering the aftermath of the German devastation across Italy from Venice to Sicily. Rossellini blends drama and documentary that's heartbreaking and unforgettable because the people and locations are real. It's one of the milestones of Italian neo-realism that changed cinema forever. The film was also the second collaboration between Rossellini and Federico Fellini who wrote several of his films before embarking on his own stellar career. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
