Movie Reviews of Open City (Enhanced) 1945
Movie Review: Italian Resistance fighters in Nazi occupied Rome...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is remarkable for several reasons...
1. It is based on a true story and was made immediately following the Nazi occupation of Rome. It was written by Roberto Rossellini while he was in hiding and was filmed in the locations written about.
2. In is another shining example of the marriage that can be made between Cinema and Historical Accuracy.
Warning!!! This movie is not for the faint of heart....
A prominent Italian Resistance Fighter, Manfredi (Marcello Pagliero) is captured by the German's along with Priest Don Peitro (Aldo Fabrizi) his collaborator. A graphic torture scene ensues which has been called one of the most disturbing ever put on film...
Rossellini uses this film to show you the strength and resolve that Patriot's have in the face of extreme adversity. Italian Neorealism at its best, Open City is classic German Cinema and belongs in everyone's Top 100.
