2022.01 |Second brush after one year, amazing, changed from three stars to five stars hhh The incompatibility of emotional idealists and rational realists.

And, this film should be the originator of countless city roaming films that follow. The heroine travels all over Italy, touching the scene. Rossellini is starting to move away from pure neorealist transformation...
