Review of Open City (2008) by Mark O — 04 Mar 2010
96/100. To fully appreciate this film, it should be researched, focusing on how it was made and the history behind it. It's an incredible movie. The cast is amazing, the realistic viewpoint is fresh even today, and was an amazing concept at that time.
Superb and gritty photography, the story is an unforgettable one, and it is all brought together by the genius Roberto Rossellini. It is so visually impressive. Historically such an important film in cinema, and it never fails to impress and fascinate.
It is astounding how Rossellini manages bits of humor amidst extreme war conditions. There are so many images that you think about long after watching the film.
