This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles.

"Under the Sun of Rome" (English titles) was filmed in Italy in 1948 as "Sotte il Sole de Roma." Adhering to the "neorealist" school, the film is gritty and uncompromising for the most part, though it manages to exude a sense of optimism by film's end. Told in episodic fashion, the story concentrates on the various ramifications of Italy's post-fascist reconstruction, as seen through the eyes of an orphan (Oscar Blando) who comes of age during WW II. Some of the best scenes concern the boy's tempestuous courtship of his long-suffering girlfriend (Liliana Mancini). This film won "Best Italian Film" at the 1948 Venice Film Festival.

5 of 5 Sotto il Sole di Roma March 24, 2015
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Armadale, Victoria Australia  
Castellani enjoys the high spirits of his main character, as does the audience. However, there are unhappy consequences and the film is one of contrasts. The DVD is of excellent quality. Thanks, MovieDetective, for making it available.
