440 _aRoberto Rossellini's War Trilogy
500 _aSpecial features include: - Video introduction by Rossellini from 1963 - Audio commentary by film scholar Peter Bondanella - Once upon a time ... "Rome Open City",a 2006 making-of documentary on making of this historic film, featuring rare archival material and footage of Anna Magnani, Federico Fellini, Ingrid Bergman, and many others - Video interview with Rossellini scholar Adriano Aprà - Rossellini and the city, a new visual essay by film scholar Mark Shiel on Rossellini's use of urban landscape in the War Trilogy - Video interview with film critic and Rossellini friend Father Virgilio Fantuzzi, who discusses the filmmaker and the role of religion in Rome Open City
520 _aFrom case cover: This was Roberto Rossellini's revelation,a harrowing drama about the Nazi occupation of Rome and the brave few who struggled against it. Though told with more melodramatic flair than the other films that would form this trilogy and starring some well-known actor--Aldo Fabrizi as a priest helping the partisan cause and Anna Magnani in her breakthrough role as the fiancee of a resistance member--Rome Open City is a shockingly authentic experience, conceived and directed amid the ruin of World War II, with immediacy in every frame. Marking a watershed moment in Italian cinema, this galvanic work awards around the globe and left the beginnings of a new film movement in its wake.
