Video Essay: How Italian Neorealism Brought the Grit of the Streets to the Big Screen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2024
- This insightful new video essay by Tyler Knudsen (AKA Cinema Tyler) shows how great directors like Visconti, De Sica, and Rossellini ushered in the raw, unfiltered reality of Italian Neorealism. The Italian Neorealist movement was a sister to French New Wave, wherein Italian directors were dealing with the political reality of fascism by showing life as it was lived by ordinary working people. They wanted to show these people grappling with large, sometimes unsolvable problems, sometimes coming from their own lives, and sometimes stemming from larger social structures over which they had no control.
I know this is six years old, but this really helped me with one of my film papers and I learned a lot from this RUclips video. Thank you a bunch.
i had an exam coming up
YOUR VIDEO SAVED ME!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
great video! I'm very interested in the Italian neorealism movements and the nouvelle vague. Amazing films and great directors. Just one comment: your pronunciation of telefoni bianchi is wrong. The ch in Bianchi is pronounced as Bee-ahn-kee

Thanks for this insightful video. I would like to add that neorealism also influenced a lot of film makers outside Italy, like Alfred Hitchcock whose The Wrong Man (1950) is clearly influenced by it.
Hitchcock was making films before the neorealist though. His influences came from Kammerspielfilm mostly.

Hey guys, this is unrelated to this video but I was wondering if you guys might be able to do a video on how old school movies made opticals. Fades, titles swipes etc... How they done it in the 30's. I'm guessing they just faded the projector while printing, but that is just a guess. I can't seem to find much content on the subject on you tube. Just an idea. Thanks.
Well a fade originally is simply just that, they just faded the last frame of an image and sanded it down slowly going into the next image. On another note, please check out my own neorealist film, thanks :) ruclips.net/video/CvStsBLS2nk/видео.html&t
Google translate has a very good pronunciation feature of Italian words. Could have been used in here.
The women in the White Telephome films were absolutely stunning.
so fantastic!
thanks
Great essay! Just one question, Mussolini founded the Venice FF, which astonished me, I search for it on the internet, but info is nowhere to be found. They are talking about the Mussolini Cup - the competition of the best foreign film, but that's it. I believe that maybe they try to avoid mention it in history of Venice FF?
MagnoliaNoir yes the Venice Film Festival was founded by Mussolini to boost the industry wich was strugling because of the Economic Depression. Also they wanted to promote italian cinema to Europe and appear to be a very open and cultural regime
‘Modern drama is not a mere emotional entertainment. it is a source
of ideas, a cultural and educational factor, an agency for political
propaganda, a social institution, and above all it is a literature. What
part will the new African play in modern drama? On its physical side
[it] can contribute strong fast rhythm speedy action, expressive
vigorous gesture and movement.... We want dramatic representation of
African Serfdom, Oppression, Exploitation, and Metamorphosis...The
African dramatist has an important part to fill. He can say and portray
things that African politicians and demagogues dare not touch upon: he
can expose evil and corruption, and not suffer libel as newspaper men
may -- and do: he can guide and preach to his people as preachers
cannot. To do this he must be an artist before a propagandist: a
philosopher before a reformer, a psychologist before a patriot: be true
to his African “Self”’ (Dhlomo, 1933)

Brilliant. However, bianchi in Italian is pronounced bee-an-ki. First lesson in Italian pronunciation.
Bicycle thieve's music perfectly suits the video
Fellini is not considered Italian neorealist? My favorite is La Strada :) it has some fantasy elements to it though...
J. Flo Video Productions I think Fellini started off as a neorealist then changed his style, turning to a more fantasmagoric one !
Fellini it's fellini
Don't forget Fellini cowrote the scripts for Rossellini's Rome Open City and Paisà.
I Vitellioni is very neorealist. Secondly, check out my own little indie neorealist film. Thanks :) ruclips.net/video/CvStsBLS2nk/видео.html
The intro music?
You can tell that you got your information from Wikipedia. Italian Neorealism didn't peter out in the 50's because Italy was thriving. It was pretty much outlawed in the country. No filmaker could acquire funding for any neorealistic projects. Do some more research. I know this is 'No Film School', but that doesn't give you an excuse to spread false information.
Exactly I can't find anything regarding Mussolini's significance to the Venice Film Festival other then his minister or something

Can you please elaborate?
I'm 3 years late but like, why was it outlawed etc.
@@noone-gx4sq To give you an incredibly brief explanation... Post WW2, Italian filmmakers wanted to show the gritty realism of what Italy was really like. The Italian government hates this with a passion. They wanted the image of Italy to be chic and classy. So they essentially pulled all funding for any movies that were made in the Neorealist style. It got to the point where directors like Rosselini and Fellini would have to alter their style in order to get funding for their films.
This is basically all due to Giulio Andreotti, a minister of the Italian government who implemented this.
A short run down, but the info is out there for people to research... Which this channel did not do.
@@mariocovone498 alright, thank for the the headstart of a deeper research :)
hey guys ı dont wanna go to school to this ı am learnin from the internet you can give me advice about some thing ı need to know about the cinema
Awesome :)
This is a films modality which I appreciate. Sometime later, a couple of decades, many films began to reflect more the influence of a Mystery Babylon religion; of an aeon of Anti-Christ, by the lingo of the times; for us, Pre-Avatar Aeon is very good... One can perhaps appreciate, with such foreign films, how so-called Americanism is actually Illusory; such, with the deceptive tribal marking, have generally gotten "off track" of the race. U.S.A. also isn't really a legitimate "marking", in this sense. To get back "on track", inhabitants of this land should realize, this is Scotland; the entire patriarchal attribution became Celtic, when the Anglican Patriarchal Attribution was removed from the earth; when Britain was removed, in the Sublime World sense, and was replaced by Scotland. Very incredibly low vitality is the result of a patriarchal dyssync; of an Eternal, or near-eternal problem caused by those rogue revolutionaries. Like many of motorcycle, or street gangs, they were consigned to Perdition. In other words, the mode of the Revolution, murdering to get gain of a rich, entire continent, was not a pardonable but an Unpardonable offense. It is possible then, for greater vitality and renewal, to get back "on track"; forsaking English for Scottish Gaelic, and changing the Name of the land to its True Name, Nova Scotia or Alba Nuadh as a basic measure, this would be a very incredibly great deal better... There is no haven, nor place of escape, from Karma and Dharma, which is largely the belief of Americanism, under an illusory patriarchal conception.
holy fuck can somebody tell what the background music is?
It's the theme to Bicycle Thieves.

4:41 And Pasolini took that personally. He knew that the struggle of the working class and the poor people of Italy was far from over, and he lamented the way neoliberalism, capitalism and the american soft power "raped" Italy, its culture and its people.
Can you please elaborate
I'd be very grateful
@@noone-gx4sq Read his "Scritti corsari" if you want a quick read on the subject. He often laments the way the americanization of italian society through neoliberal capitalism (imported from the US) destroyed its culture and its people, and led them to uniformization. Consumerism, individualism and the american cult of success also led to the progressive erasure of class-consciousness and the isolation/alienation of the working-class.
can you do ones on third cinema(new and 'new' new ), pre-war Japanese and 5th Gen china film?
bdw as an Italian "telefoni bianchi" is pronounced "telefoni, bianKI" not CHI

I don't think Mussolini founded the Venice Film Festival. I cannot find anything to support that claim.

You could at least try to not mispronounce every single Italian word you say. Yikes. Feels like a lack of respect to me.

really interesting but your pronunciation of Italian words took away from you credibility on the subject.
Hm, so basically the good family values and social cohesion of the fascists gave way to degeneracy and decay. That's what I got out of the video
It's called Italian NeoREALISM for a reason.
In the meantime a war happened and Italy lived the tragedy of civil war too, after Mussolini's fall.
