Much is devastating -- but Rossellini found room, too, for the humour and warmth of everyday life.

fresh:
Today it doesn't feel like a documentary at all. It's a street opera, caught on camera during wartime, a story performed by a mixed cast of amazing professionals and earnest non-professionals.

This much of the film is standard hero and villain stuff. But what makes picture good is the story of other characters involved in the tragedy.

The total effect of the picture is a sense of real experience, achieved as much by the performance as by the writing and direction.

Remains a film of electric drama and high emotion, as well as a major turning point in film history.
