The Neo-Realist Collection
With some of the most powerful and beautifully shot films ever committed to screen, this superlative collection includes 5 of the most important films in the history of cinema.
Rooted in the Italian resistance during the close of World War II, Neo-realism was greatly influenced by socio-historical factors of the time. From the German occupation to the devastating aftermath of the War and the hopelessness of reconstruction that ensued, Neo-realism painted a picture of “real” Italian life. Few other periods of film history are so deeply influenced by the political ideal and social history of their time.
The films are : Rome, Open City, The Bicycle Thieves, Miracle in Milan, Umberto D and I Vitteloni.
