At the 35th Haifa International Film Festival, a movie by Roberto Rossellini, with Anna Magnani, Aldo Fabrizi, Maria Michi, Marcello Pagliero, Nando Bruno, Vito Annichiarico, Harry Feist. Digitally restored copy.
Anna Magnani – in her breakthrough role as the fiancée of a resistance member – stars in this classic drama about the Nazi occupation of Rome and the brave few who struggled against it.
- Rome, Open City was one of the landmark films of the 1940s. Aesthetically, it was one of the first major works of Italian neorealist filmmaking and perhaps the single most influential example of the style. Historically, it was among the first postwar European films to gain a significant audience around the world. And politically, it was a work of tremendous bravery.
In Italian, with Hebrew & English subtitles.
