Roberto Rossellini Retrospective. Presented in a new digital restoration, Roberto Rossellini’s remarkable drama Rome, Open City, starring Aldo Fabrizi and Anna Magnani in her breakthrough role, is a towering and powerfully resonant cinematic achievement. Conceived and directed amid the ruin of World War II in Rome, with immediacy in every frame, it follows the resistance leader Giorgio Manfredi, who is chased by the Nazis as he seeks refuge and a way to escape. (Italy, 1945).
