A landmark of Italian neorealism often cited as one of the greatest films ever made, Roberto Rossellini’s portrait of life under Nazi Occupation remains remarkable for its sheer immediacy, tension and power. Shot both on the ravaged streets and in the studio (most memorably for the painfully frank second half set largely at Gestapo headquarters), Rome, Open City seamlessly blends sequences reminiscent of documentary with more conventional dramatic scenes notable for their pace, precise staging and affectingly naturalistic performances. Its emotional punch remains undiminished. BFI
