The TVI Take
Roberto Rossellini's 1945 film about the Italian Resistance during the German occupation of Rome — the canonical founding text of Italian Neorealism. The structural commitment to filming on actual Roman streets with documentary-grade lighting (the film stock was scavenged from various Roman warehouses; some sequences were shot inside actual occupied buildings) established the canonical postwar cinema register.
