Neorealism

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia


Neorealism is a cultural movement in cinema that, following the realism in literature, brings elements of true life in the stories it describes, in contrast with a tendency to depict a world mainly existing in imagination only.

The movement was developed in Europe, mainly soon after the end of WWII, with notable examples in Italy.
