Where is freedom?

Where is freedom? / Dov’è la libertà…?
by Roberto Rossellini
1953 | Italy | M12 | Comedy, Drama | 1h31

In 1930, Salvatore (played by Totò), a barber by profession, commits murder out of jealousy. He is released 22 years later, in 1952, having lived through the rise and fall of fascism, the Second World War and the liberation of Italy by American troops. Salvatore finds himself forced to adapt to a completely new world. This parable about freedom paints a striking portrait of post-war Italy, marked by betrayed expectations and the remnants of fascism.

Starring Totò, Vera Molnar, Nita Dover, Franca Faldini and Leopoldo Trieste
