Roberto Rossellini
The story of Roberto Rossellini unfolds as we look back at his formative years in Rome and at his family; we visit the places where he lived or made his films. We hear the reminiscences of his close collaborators and family. His life-long dedication to books, his voracious appetite for the great works and great figures of the past, after he moved away from cinema and toward television, now seem a kind of compensation for the dispersal of his art which the film profession had doubtless forced on him during the war years and the difficult post-war period. If it is true that neorealism was first recognized internationally, Hollywood was still an irresistible magnet for filmmakers from all over the world. At the end of the 1940's, Rossellini had some commercial failures. Germany Year Zero and L'Amore fatally weakened his position in the European market and have been ignored by the Americans.
