Rome Open City
New Restoration!
Though told with more melodramatic flair than the other films that
would form this trilogy and starring some well-known actors—Aldo
Fabrizi as a priest helping the partisan cause and Anna Magnani in her
breakthrough role as the fiancée of a resistance member—ROME OPEN
CITY is a shockingly authentic experience, conceived and directed amid
the ruin of World War II, with immediacy in every frame.
