FAQ About The Influence of Neorealism on Global Cinema
Why did Neorealism emerge primarily in Italy?
Neorealism emerged in Italy due to the socio-political and economic conditions post-World War II. The devastation of the war led to widespread poverty and hardship, providing fertile ground for filmmakers to tell stories that resonated strongly with the public. The movement was a reaction against the propagandist, escapist films of the previous decades and sought to reflect the harsh realities of everyday life.
