During WWII the film studios in Italy were destroyed, and as a result these directors started filming in streets, homes, buildings and other authentic locations, often using non-actors. De Sica is among the most important directors in cinema, credited with creating what became known as “Italian neorealism” (along with directors Roberto Rossellini and Luchino Visconti).
He never holds anything back and his films are emotional, fresh and daring. Vittorio De Sica, the director of “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow”, is a director whose work I truly love.
