Lot of stories forced to be one by heavy images: magnani running and being killed while her little son is screaming, is a must. Is worth the film.

" Date: 9/4/2019 Viewed: In Film Class Fist Viewing Note: I finally saw this movie for the first time and I loved it. I thought this movie was great from start to finish. The acting is top-notch and the characters in this movie are great. You can really feel the connection that these characters go through with them fighting for what they stand for. The cinematography in this movie is fantastic because Ubaldo Arata did an amazing job on capturing the feeling of neorealism. Not to mention, this"
