Sotto il sole di Roma

Good neoralist movie with non-professionals actors, all good. The tone of the film follows that of the protagonist's life in contrast with the historical events in the background, with a carefree first part as his adolescence despite the arrival of the war and a more tragic part as the consequences of his choices in a period instead of peace after the war. Absolutely beautiful Rome in those years. Beautiful photography and excellent direction by Castellani, one of the best directors of the time.

Scenes to remember:

• The return of shoe money
• The train journey
• The escape from the bathroom under the bombing
• The encounter between Iris and Tosca at the bar
• The final
