Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy
\n<\/em>-Rome Open City\u00a0<\/em>(1945)
\n–Paisan\u00a0<\/em>(1946)
\n–Germany Year Zero\u00a0<\/em>(1948)<\/p>\n

From\u00a0The Criterion Collection<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

Roberto Rossellini is one of the most influential filmmakers of all time. And it was with his trilogy of films made during and after World War II\u2014Rome Open City, Paisan,<\/em> and Germany Year Zero<\/em>\u2014that he left his first transformative mark on cinema. With their stripped-down aesthetic, largely nonprofessional casts, and unorthodox approaches to storytelling, these intensely emotional works were international sensations and came to define the neorealist movement. Shot in battle-ravaged Italy and Germany, these three films are some of our most lasting, humane documents of devastated postwar Europe, containing universal images of both tragedy and hope.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
