	Dvd Shop >> Open City
		Open City captivates the viewer almost immediately as it is a moving story.
		What makes Open City a masterpiece is not only its trim, forceful screenplay but Rossellini's ability to utilize the wartime, grainy film stock and presence of the actual, newly defeated fascist army to portray a sense of immediate reality of the occupation and those who so courageously fought against the fascists.
		Open City's plot and characters are fl and white, because, to the courageous resistance fighters in fascist occupied Rome, there was no luxury of quibbling over nuances and perspective.

	Open City
		Open City is widely regarded as the most important film in Italian cinema history.
		In World War II, Rome was officially designated an Open City; not a military target according to the international rules of war, yet firmly in the vise-grip of German martial law.
		The studios, as well as much of the city, had been bombed, and the country was on the verge of social and economic collapse.

	Film as Art: Danél Griffin's Guide to Cinema
		Open City was the first film of the neorealism genre, and it was a collaboration between two of the greatest filmmakers to ever emerge from Italy: Ricardo Rossellini, who directs, and Frederico Fellini, who co-scripts.
		Open City makes no such attempt, but simply follows the men and women from the sides of both the Nazis and the Italians and lets their actions and decisions speak for themselves.
		Open City's chief claim to fame is the brutal interrogation scenes, in which the Nazis torture a member of the resistance movement.

		Also, the connotations of "open city" extend beyond its formal definition.
		It expresses ideas of Rome as an open city in terms of being unsuspectingly invaded by new ideologies that it may not at first have understood.

	Open City movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Open City is my most recent acquisition, and it is interesting, if not always my cup of tea.
		Open City is a lot different from the Hollywood pictures of the 1930`s and 40`s, in that there are not a lot of big stars, but it really is not much more realistic than, say, The Grapes of Wrath, which also told a dark story about real people in a harsh situation.
		Open City is still interesting in many ways; for depicting a situation which at the time happened not too long before, during the Nazi occupation, and for the effective melodrama.

	Roma, citta aperta (Open City)
		Open City took the world by storm in late 1945 and early 1946, ushering in a new filmmaking movement called neorealism.
		Open City was shot just after German occupation of Italy, when the country was quite simply ravaged by the effects of World War II.
		Anyway, the idea that Open City is documenting the facts is by far it's strength, but the Nazis being lumped into a big one-dimensional group partially undermines the believability of the Italian characters that, while obviously sympathetically drawn as the good hardworking but suffering and impoverished people, by all means really did exist.

	Teri Rueb - Open City: public space and civic identity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Open City is a site-specific telephone installation that seeks to revive the street as a space for cultural reflection and civic interaction.
		The original design of the city expressed this idea by encouraging public gathering in wide streets and open spaces, intended to "symbolize a government that is accessible to its people" (1).
		Open City invites people to engage in public dialog about citizenship in the contemporary urban landscape--a landscape that is defined as much by telecommunications networks as by brick and mortar.

	CIN - Pius XII's Defense of Jews and Others: 1944-45 - Rome, 'Open City'
		By January, the city had become the hiding place of thousands of persons who were eluding the occupation power or the Fascist Republicans.
		The idea of Rome, the open city, was dear to the heart of Pius XII, and he devoted most of his energy during 1944 to making that ideal a reality.
		It is impossible to suppose that Pius XII could fail to react with some effort to avert the worst, and the record of the Pontiff's concern for the lives of the unfortunates who fell into German and neo-Fascist hands during those months shows eloquently his sensitivity to such situations.

		At the highest level, a city is divided into three primary components for the AI map: roads, intersections, and open areas (see Figure 1).
		Hence, the city can be customized very quickly to accommodate new gameplay elements that are discovered in prototyping, and to help resolve any issues that may emerge with the AI algorithms.

		Photographed on scraps of film abandoned by German forces as they retreated from Rome toward the end of World War II, Roberto Rossellini's OPEN CITY was immediately hailed as a masterpiece of realism when it hit screens around the world in the late 1940s.
		Seen within the context of its time and with reference to the circumstances under which it was made, OPEN CITY is a staggering accomplishment; even so, by modern standards, it feels visually static and slightly contrived.
		Open City is a classic that nearly defies classification of genre.
