It's very chilling that the intensity of this film still exists almost 60 years later. Rossellini captures almost everything about that particular time period, all the struggles with the war and occupation and such very well. This for anyone studying neorealist cinema is both the best place to start and the most definitive example of it.

Really incredible achievement, filmed as I understand it while WW2 was still taking place. Heartbreaking finales to both of the movie’s two acts. This is more in the category of “historically important” more than “rip-roaring entertainment”, but I still recommend watching for the performances of Pina and Don Pietro–both will stick with me for a long time.

The fact that this was filmed in Rome at a time when you could probably still smell the fleeing Nazi's petrol fumes gives this an enthralling sense of authenticity. The story is centred around the character of "Manfredi" (Marcello Pagliero) who is being chased by the Gestapo, and so is trying to esc More
