FAQ About The Influence of Neorealism on Global Cinema

How did Neorealism influence Indian cinema?
Neorealism had a significant influence on Indian cinema, particularly on the Parallel Cinema movement. Indian filmmakers like Satyajit Ray and Bimal Roy embraced Neorealist techniques such as on-location shooting and stories focused on social issues and the everyday lives of ordinary people. This resulted in films that offered a stark contrast to the glamour of popular Bollywood productions.
