ROME, OPEN CITY Movie

The film follows the fate of several Romans during the last days of the German occupation. Central   to the film are Aldo Fabrizi’s Don Pietro, a priest dedicated to helping members of the resistance and   the heart-rending performance of Anna Magnani as Pina. Rome, Open City is considered as a major  turning point in film history and as a testament to the film’s lasting impact, Jean-luc Godard famously said “All roads lead to Rome Open City”.  Widely regarded as the father of Neorealism movement in cinema, ROBERTO ROSSELLINI (8 May  1906 – 3 June 1977) brought the real world into films by mixing non-actors and authentic locales  with actors and studio sets. And it was with his trilogy of films made during and after WorldWar II—Rome, Open City, Paisan, and Germany Year Zero—he transformed the way the world  perceived cinema.
