Purpose:
To apply concepts about Neorealism to film
To reflect on the post-war psyche in film
To experience viewing and reflecting on artistic expression
Directions:
After watching ONE of the Neorealist films (Bicycle Thieves or Rome: Open City) assigned this week, reflect on the film.
How does the film capture the sentiments of post-war Europe (Italy, specifically)?
What scenes exemplify this? What theme(s) stands out?
How does the film exemplify the characteristics of Neorealism?
