attempt to survive immediately after war's end (WWII, that is).
Roberto Rossellini completed the film in 1947: all of it was filmed on location and the bombed out shell of a city, Berlin, is really the central character. No matter how much you've read of that period, this film will shock you.
What would you do to survive--to ensure the survival of your family? What does it mean to be "human?"
Rossellini provides no answers.
This film cannot be missed by serious film viewers.

From Billy Wilder to Tourneur many films has been in the post war Berlin, Rossellini certainly is the most poignant realsitic and not neo, of all the films I knows on this theme, being far better that documentaries only.
Berlin did get what it deserved, a tragedy.
