Germany Year Zero
1947. Italy/Germany. Roberto Rossellini. Screenplay by Rossellini, Carlo Lizzani, Max Kolpet. With Edmund Moeschke, Ernst Pittshau. Shot among the ruins of postwar Berlin, this rarely seen film recognized the infectious power of Nazi ideology that lingered after the physical destruction of Germany. A twelve-year-old boy, one year younger than the Third Reich itself, commits a horrendous crime. Rossellini: Whether he excites pity or horror I do not know, nor did I wish to know. In German, English subtitles. 73 min.
