Roma, città aperta (1945)

No, I wasn't blown away by Rome, Open City (1945). I was too tired when I watched it and what occupied me most during the first hour was trying not to snore too hard. Yes, there were some good scenes capturing ordinary life in a war-stricken city. Yes, the scenes were shaped in an interesting way, often with a sudden change of frame. Yes, it was fun to watch a stern, lesbian (or something) Nazi. But no, I wasn't much impressed. I hold Germania anno zero as a much better film.
