"I am a Catholic priest. I believe that those who fight for justice and truth walk in the path of God and the paths of God are infinite"

Italian NeoRealism’s most iconic movie for sure. 1 hour and a half of pure scenery shots that serve as a background for a story of resistance and defiance. Truly a masterpiece, Rossellini is an amazing director.

“maledetti, sarete schiacciati nella polvere come vermi” il 25 aprile è divisivo solo se sei fascista.
