Roberto Rossellini's Viva L'italia (DVD, 1961, Arrow Special Edition)

Description: "Viva I'Italia is a documentary made after the event, trying to figure out what happened. I tried to place myself in front of the events of a century ago, the way a documentarist would have done who had the good fortune to follow Garibaldi's campaign with his camera." Roberto Rossellini To celebrate the centenary of Italy, the Italian government commissioned Rossellini to make a biopic of Giuseppe Garibaldi, one that would follow his exploits with "the Thousand" and their role in the country's unification. Rossellini presents a spectacle-filled recreation of the period, while maintaining the approach of his earlier The Flowers of St. Francis, presenting his characters in neo-realist mode. Restored by Arrow Films from the original negative, this disc marks the first North American home video release of Viva I'Italia in any format, allowing English-speaking audiences to discover another Rossellini classic.
