Neo-realism

Neo-realism in cinema

Ceazar Zavattini – key theoretician of neo-realism

Luciano Visconti – Obsession (1943)
The earth(1948)

Roberto Rossellini – Rome: open city (1945)
Paisa (1946)
Germany: year zero (1947)
Questions:
Why is neo-realism totally different than other kind of film?
OR

What are the qualities and features of Neo-realism in a cinema?
The neo-realist film makers did not use the experienced, trained and famous film artists in their films. Rather they used new people to play the characters choosing from the same locality where the story belonged
Most films were made post WWII to show the economic condition of European countries especially Italy.
They did not picturize their films using artificially constructed film studios; instead they shot their films outdoors, in real locations where the incidents had taken place.
They did not use the tantalizing and twinkling lights as in the commercial films. Rather they used the available or the natural lights
The Neo-realist film makers did not use the bombastic and literary dialogues. They used simple, colloquial and natural words in their films.
They used only the soft-volume background music and effects, but not the high sounding one.
They did not overdramatize their films with artificial conflicts.
