| Summary |
Filmed in the direct aftermath of World War II on the war-ravaged streets of Italy, "Rome, open city" is a frank tale set against the backdrop of extreme conditions, using a cast composed largely of non-actors. Based on real events in 1944, and centring on the Resistance and its members, the film examines the choices people are forced to make in wartime. |
