The TVI Take
Roberto Rossellini's 1946 second installment of his War Trilogy (Rome Open City / Paisan / Germany Year Zero) — six interconnected episodes tracking Allied soldiers and Italian civilians from Sicily to the Po Valley. The structural commitment to letting each episode render a different language-encounter (American GIs and Italian villagers, British medics and Romans) is canonical Neorealism.
