FAQ About The Influence of Neorealism on Global Cinema
How did Neorealism begin?
The roots of Neorealism can be traced back to the aftermath of World War II. Italy, grappling with significant economic and social turmoil, became fertile ground for filmmakers to explore stories reflective of their social realities. Films like Roberto Rossellini's Rome, Open City (1945) and Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves (1948) are considered pioneering works that established the foundations of the Neorealist approach.
