Rome, Open City (1945)
In Nazi-occupied Rome, a resistance leader is hunted by the Gestapo. He seeks escape with the help of a priest and his pregnant fiancée. The film depicts the brutal struggle for survival faced by ordinary Italians—men, women, and children—who are part of the underground movement. It is a stark and realistic portrait of courage, sacrifice, and oppression during the final days of the occupation.
