Title (Year): Rome Open City - Roma, città aperta (1945)
Age: 79 years
GRS Rating: 3 of 5
Notable Cast: None.
Duration: 1 hr, 43 min
Infractions: Torture scene
Comments: The Nazis occupy Rome. The residents are starving. Many resort to theft. The resistance still maintains a strong foothold. This film follows a small group of people as they struggle through the curfews, starvation, abuse, etc.
This is a heavy hitting Italian film that shows just how bad it was in Rome in 1945. The torture scene is shocking even to this day and, I feel, a bit unnecessary. Excellent film.
