Trailer & Synopsis
One of the most important films in the history of cinema, Roberto Rossellini’s Rome, Open City – the first in his War Trilogy, followed by Paisan (1946) and Germany, Year Zero (1948) – is a gripping account of the Nazi and Italian Fascist occupation of Rome and the bravery of those who resisted it. Named after the city’s unfortified status, – a signal for the Allies to cease bombing – this portrait of time and place, split into two parts, follows a diverse variety of characters involved in the resistance movement including a priest (Aldo Fabrizi) helping the partisan cause, the fiancée (Anna Magnani) of a resistance member (Francesco Grandjacquet) and her own altar boy son (Vito Annicchiarico).
