Neorealism - 1943-1950

Vote on films using up & down links or suggest your own

The movement known as neorealism made its appearance in Italy around the time of the Second World War: its main characteristic is that of representing everyday life, through a compromise between the real and the documentary and often using ordinary persons instead of professional actors. The lack of means, the unavailability of studios after 1944 resulted in having to shoot in the streets, and setting feature films in authentic places: this became a sort of stylistic monogram of neorealism (source: Wikipedia).

Italian Comedy - 1950 -1965

Vote on films using up & down links or suggest your own

Italian Comedy is generally considered to have started with Mario Monicelli's I soliti Ignoti (Big Deal on Madonna Street) and derives its name from the title of Pietro Germi's Divorzio all'Italiana (Divorce Italian Style - 1961). For a long time this definition was used with a derogatory intention.

Vittorio Gassman, Marcello Mastroianni, Ugo Tognazzi, Alberto Sordi, Claudia Cardinale, Monica Vitti and Nino Manfredi were among the stars of these movies, that described the years of the economical reprise and investigated Italian dress, a sort of self-ethnological research.

In 1961, Dino Risi directed Il sorpasso, now a cult-movie, then Una vita difficile (A Difficult Life), I mostri (The Monsters, also known as 15 From Rome), In nome del Popolo Italiano (In the Name of the Italian People) and Profumo di donna (Scent of a Woman).

Monicelli's works include La grande guerra (The Great War), I compagni (Comrades, also known as The Organizer), L'armata Brancaleone, Vogliamo i colonnelli (We Want the Colonels), Romanzo popolare (Popular Romance) and Amici miei (source: Wikipedia).
