Rome, Open City (12A)

Dir: Roberto Rossellini | Italy | 1945 | 103 mins | Subtitled

Cast | Anna Magnani, Aldo Fabrizi, Marcello Pagliero, Vito Annicchiarico

Filmed immediately after the liberation of Rome, Rossellini’s masterpiece is an extraordinary historical document.

Widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, and marking a watershed moment in Italian cinema, Rossellini’s Rome, Open City is a chilling portrait of life under Nazi occupation. Engineer Giorgio (Marcello Pagliero) is trying to evade the Gestapo and looks to Pina (Anna Magnani), the fiancée of a fellow resistance member, and priest Don Pietro (Aldo Fabrizi) for help. But will they come to his aid? Shot on Roman streets ravaged by WWII, Rome, Open City has inspired and influenced countless filmmakers with its immediacy, tension and raw power.
