The art of neorealism first started in the 1940s in Italy, and is mainly known for its' depiction of the working class. Most of these films deal with issues relating to the economical struggles people faced after World War II. Almost all neorealist movies were filmed on location, and are set up in a documentary-style fashion.
Simplicity is key for this art style. Little to no editing/lighting/camerawork is essential, leaving these films with a "style-less" style.
Some examples of these films are:
- Ossessione (1943)
- Sciuscia (1946)
- Riso amaro (1949)
- Bellissima (1951)
- Umberto D. (1952)
