Shot in 1945 in the immediate aftermath of the liberation of Rome, Roberto Rossellini's masterpiece (described by Martin Scorsese as "the most precious moment of film history") returns to the screen in a spanking 4K digital restoration. Set during the occupation, the narrative follows disparate strands of resistance struggling under the crushing jackboot of the Nazis. Ubaldo Arata's visceral cinematography blends the grit of a documentary with the heart and soul of a drama (Fellini collaborated on the screenplay) as the people of Rome wrestle with the constraints, compromises and collusions of life during wartime.
