What an awful position the despicable Nazis left their descendants at the close of the Second World War. Rossellini has the perfect, objective, almost documentarian painterly hand in his depiction of this, and I have the feeling that only someone from one of the losing Axis countries, such as he, could so astutely and profoundly bring across such a feeling of loss and guilt that haunted these ‘survivors’. A very sad film to watch, yet at the very same time necessary and healing. Clearly my favourite of his works, next to his magnificent ‘The Flowers of St. Francis’.
Edmund Moeschke (“Edmund”) is superb in this gritty and authentic looking post-war story of a young boy struggling, with his family, to make ends meet in Berlin after the fall of the Nazis. Scrounging, scrimping, scavenging – all to try and keep his ailing father and the rest of his family fed and warm. It is tightly cast and the scenarios – filmed just three years after the allies reduced much of the city to rubble are very poignant; the photography and sparing dialogue all lend well to the gently accumulating sense of desperation that culminates in tragedy. The children bring optimism and hope to the story – their innocence writ large as they embark on a new life for them as did the rest of Europe in 1948. Well worth a watch.
Great Rossellini Film
Greatly enjoyed this film that was directed and written by Roberto Rossellini, which was produced on a very low budget with actual real life scenes of the complete destruction of Germany after World War II. Rossellini even hired just regular people to act in this film and very few professional actors. Edmund Moeschke,(Edmund) was a little boy who struggles trying to find food and lived with a family where an Ex-Nazi hid out and never went outside and never earned a living. Edmund sold stolen goods in order to obtain money and wandered among all the ruins of the Germany city with a bunch of very poor boys and girls. This is a rather depressing film and clearly shows the horrors that Hitler brought upon the German people who had promised a great country that would be world rulers. This is a great Classic film with its unbelievable photography and great acting.
