Originally produced as a motion pictures in 1950-1954.
Set 2. disc 2. Europe '51 (Italian language version)
Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders.
The resulting collaboration produced a series of films that are works of both sociopolitical concern and metaphysical melodrama. Stromboli, Europe '51, and Journey to Italy are intensely personal portraits that reveal the director at his most emotional and the glamorous actor at her most anguished, and that capture them and the world around them in transition.
Set 2. Ingrid Bergman plays a wealthy, self-absorbed Rome socialite racked by guilt over the shocking death of her young son. As a way of dealing with her grief and finding meaning in her life, she decides to devote her time and money to the city's poor and sick. Her newfound, single-minded activism leads to conflicts with her husband and questions about her sanity.
DVD, full screen (1.37:1) presentation.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

One of the Greatest Films I've Ever Seen, A Masterpiece submitted by KidBlue on January 10, 2024, 4:40pm Europa '51 is an Italian Neo-Realism masterpiece, and I think it's one of the greatest films ever seen. Ingrid Bergman is excellent in a brilliant script. Roberto Rossellini is, in my opinion, the greatest of Italian film directors.

The library has two copies - get this one, it's the one with subtitles.
