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 features non-professional actors, real locations, and stories that highlight social issues, poverty, and the struggles of the working class. Notable films include Bicycle Thieves and Rome, Open City. This movement sought to break away from the glamorous and idealized portrayals common in earlier cinema. Instead, neorealism aimed to present a more authentic and unfiltered view of life, reflecting the harsh realities faced by individuals in post-war society.
