  5. Germany, Year Zero

Germany, Year Zero (Germania anno zero) is the concluding film of Roberto Rossellini‘s unofficial war film trilogy, which includes Rome, Open City, and Paisà. Germany Year Zero takes place in Allied-occupied Germany, as opposed to the others, which take place in German-occupied Rome and during the Allied invasion of Italy. Rossellini, like many neorealist filmmakers, relied heavily on local, non-professional performers. He shot on-site in Berlin with the intention of conveying the reality of Germany a year after its near-complete destruction in World War II. It offers spectacular visuals of bombed-out Berlin and the human battle for existence in the aftermath of Nazi Germany’s demise.
