L’età del ferro
Synopsis
Roberto Gastone Zeffiro Rossellini (8 May 1906 – 3 June 1977) was an Italian film director, screenwriter and producer. He was one of the most prominent directors of the Italian neorealist cinema, contributing to the movement with films such as Rome, Open City (1945), Paisan (1946), and Germany, Year Zero (1948). He is also known for his films starring his then wife Ingrid Bergman, Stromboli (1950)
Cinematic DNA
As he told Cahiers du cinéma in 1972, 'We also saw L’età del ferro, which is a demonstration of how a technique changed man. These are the most important films of the last years for us, a cinema that tries to make things clear, not to express feelings, not to explain characters psychologically, but to make clear how things happen.'
