Germany Year Zero
Germania anno zero / Roberto Rossellini / Italy, France, Germany 1948 / 73 min. / 15 years / DCP
Of Rossellini's post/war film trilogy, Germany Year Zero is the most radical, unforgiving, and difficult to grasp for the audience, at once cynical and moving, realistic and symbolic. It is a film work which has remained aesthetically compelling (among other things) precisely because of its internal contradictions.
