[@user-dk3jf9tm8i]

These films are like Russian classical literature. Everything is drawn out and long, but at the end you realize that you have learned really important things about life from this work.

I really owe a lot to my college's campus film club back in the late 1980s. On weekend nights around 10pm to 1am, when house and dorm parties would be raging, there would always be some obscure French, Italian or German black&white film from the '40s/'50s playing in the Science auditorium. A few times on my way to some party, I will kill time by sitting for awhile (there might be 5 other people in the vast auditorium watching as well) to watch, and quite a few times i would abandon the party and watch the whole film. I discovered The Bicycle Thief, Umberto D, The 400 Blows, School for Postmen, and others this way.

your college's campus film club back in the late 1980s sounded really cool

[@samuelealtomare3400]

As an italian, I'm really happy that many people from outside of this country watches and loves some of our best movies. In these years, our directors & screenwriters tend to exaggerate in provincialism and stereotypes, when the neorealist artists talked about specific political conditions in Italy but also with universal messages and inventions that worked in all the seventh art and her aesthetic problems & approaches as a whole. It's a shame to me, as a cosmopolitan cinema fan. P.S I'm sorry if I made mistakes in English, is not my native language

Do you also have the sources for some of the things you say? not saying they arent true :)

[@kubricklynch]

Sure, is there anything in particular you are wondering about? A very helpful source for me is the Film History textbook by Bordwell and Thompson.

THE 🐐RETURNS

[@atulyabharadwaj2279]

Wonder why bresson isn't considered a neorealist?

[@daidoexposure]

You can understand it by lookin at Paul Schrader mapping of Trascendental cinema.

[@atrebor718]

Comencini's La Storia with Claudia Cardinale. Wondering if this could be considered in the neorealism style. Shot on location? Unknown actors? Very informative video.
