The Films of Roberto Rossellini traces the career of one of the
most influential Italian filmmakers through close analysis of the
seven films that mark important turning points in his evolution:
The Man with a Cross (1943), Open City (1945), Paisan (1946), The
Machine to Kill Bad People (1948-52), Voyage in Italy (1953),
General della Rovere(1959), and The Rise to Power of Louis XIV
(1966). Beginning with Rossellini's work within the fascist cinema,
it discusses his invention of neorealism, a new cinematic style
that resulted in several classics during the immediate postwar
period. Almost immediately, however, Rossellini's continually
evolving style moved beyond mere social realism to reveal other
aspects of the camera's gaze, as is apparent in the films he made
with Ingrid Bergman during the 1950s; though unpopular, these works
had a tremendous impact on the French New Wave critics and
directors. Rossellini's late career marks a return to his
nonrealist period, now critically reexamined, in such works as the
commercially successful General della Rovere, and his eventual turn
to the creation of didactic films for television.
