I'm glad you enjoyed this movie. Raw emotion, that's right! And if you are interested in Italian Neorealism, I'd suggest you "Rome, Open City" (by Roberto Rossellini, 1946). Oh, and another "must see" by Vittorio De Sica is definitely "Umberto D." [/b][/quote]Have you seen the works of Alberto Lattuada? I haven't but, his "Mafioso" has been screened recently in New York (a work I've been wanting to see for some time).
I really like the two Ermanno Olmi's I've seen. Highly recommended for Italian Neorealism admirers. [/b][/quote]I haven't seen any Lattuada or Olmi films. Which two Olmi films have you seen?
