Neorealism

Origins

Neorealism was an artistic and cinematic movement that emerged in the mid-1940s in Italy. It aimed to depict the harsh realities of post-World War II society with a focus on social issues, poverty, and the daily lives of ordinary people. Neorealism became famous for its use of real locations instead of studio sets, non-professional actors, and a documentary-like approach. It had a significant impact on the development of cinema and influenced filmmakers worldwide.
