ALEMANHA, ANO ZERO (GERMANIA, ANNO ZERO, Itália,
França, Alemanha, 1948) – Início do neorrealismo italiano, sob a
direção de Roberto Rosselini. É a conclusão de sua trilogia sobre a WW2,
lançando um olhar sobre uma Berlim devastada, personificada num garoto de 12
anos vagando completamente abandonado entre as ruínas, e exposto a toda sorte
de perigos. The concluding chapter of Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy is the
most devastating, a portrait of an obliterated Berlin, seen through the eyes of
a twelve-year-old boy. Living
in a bombed-out apartment building with his sick father and two older siblings,
young Edmund is mostly left to wander unsupervised, getting ensnared in the
black-market schemes of a group of teenagers and coming under the nefarious
influence of a Nazi-sympathizing ex-teacher. GERMANY YEAR ZERO is a daring,
gut-wrenching look at the consequences of fascism, for society and the
individual.
