Another reason to envy Muscovites: from July 2 to 12, Illusion Cinema will host a retrospective 'Truth and Poetry: Neorealism in Cinema'.

This is a movement that was already in demand during World War II and expanded on a large scale from 1945. Here, Italians reflect on Nazism, experience social crises, and seek an angle from which to view the main tragedy of the 20th century with minimal optimism.

I recommend checking out AT LEAST 'Rome, Open City' and 'Bicycle Thieves' — this is essential cinema.
