Paisan is a 1946 Italian neorealist war drama film directed by Roberto Rossellini. In six independent episodes, it tells of the Liberation of Italy by the Allied forces during the late stage of World War II. The film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival and received numerous national and international prizes including an Academy Award nomination. I'm not much one for war movies, but this is a more personal film that focuses on people and relationships instead of battles. I watched it on HBO Max.

Criterion calls it "enormously moving". Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 100%.

DeleteThis sounds like a pretty good film. 100% rating is great, but I am sure the chick-flick lovers wouldn't be watching this. Hope you enjoyed your Easter candy yesterday. (I enjoyed mine-smile)
