Italian Neorealism is a film movement that emerged in Italy after World War II, characterized by its focus on the everyday lives of ordinary people. It often depicted the struggles of the working class and the impact of social issues, using non-professional actors and real locations to create a sense of authenticity. This movement sought to portray reality without embellishment, contrasting sharply with the glamorous style of pre-war cinema. Notable films include Bicycle Thieves and Rome, Open City, which highlight the harsh realities of life in post-war Italy and emphasize human resilience in the face of adversity.
