5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best War Film ever?, 26 Dec 2001

By	Jason Parkes "We're all Frankies'" (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Rome, Open City [VHS] [1945] (VHS Tape)

Rosselini's film is not only a formative example of Italian Neo-Realism, but a stunning War Film made- in a guerilla style, from any available filmstocks- from & in the ashes of Fascist Italy.

Its influence can be detected in such films as 'Paths of Glory' & 'Schindler's List'. The story, based on truth, is melodramatic- but the human qualities shine through. The children's faces in the final scene, the collaborater who gains a furcoat for her troubles (temporarily), the tortures inflicted. The Priest-protaganists unwaivering Faith...This is a film that EVERYONE should see and shows, CLEARLY, the human cost of War. It still stands, after all this time, as a cinematic achievment and one of the best War Films ever produced.
