Years of Neorealism — 2 years ago

Every book I’ve ever read limits the movement to a very small time period, usually starting in 1943 with Ossessione or perhaps 1945 with Rome, Open City and ending in 1952 with Umberto D. Sure, other directors like Antonioni and Fellini followed closely thereafter, but I would hesitate to include them here. I would like to echo the recommendation of Renoir’s Toni as a definite influence to the movement, but would not list it as an Italian Neorealist film for obvious reasons. Several times, I’ve seen this movement limited to between 20 and 25 films within the years I’ve listed above.


I added many more to fill out — 2 years ago

the classics of the canon, and then alphabetized them. Hope that’s fine for others.


Untitled — 3 years ago

not my speciality i would recommend anyone interested in the subject should see Toni by Renoir; the film + director were the major influence on Visconti’s Ossessione.


Thanks for the list. — 4 years ago

But Shoeshine is listed twice, and the list still lacks La Strada, Nights of Cabiria, and The Wide Blue Road, among others.


great genre, small list — 5 years ago

How about some more films from Rossellini and Visconti, as well as de Sica and others…

I Bambini Ci Guardano (The Children Are Watching Us)

Sciuscia (Shoeshine)

Paisa (Paisan

Germania, Anno Zero (Germany, Year Zero)

La Terra Trema (The Earth Trembles)

Ladri di Biciclette (The Bicycle Theif)

Riso Amaro (Bitter Rice)

Umberto D.

etc.


My Voyage To Italy — 5 years ago

It’s a documentary by Scorsese about Italian Cinema. It’s very touching – a great introduction to the genre.
