Yo de sectores del cine no entiendo. Hay de todo.
Lo que sí te puedo decir es que acusar al cine de Rossellini de sentimentalismo y maniqueísmo me parece una barbaridad.
Hay una anécdota muy buena de David Cronenberg con respecto a Fellini:
On his early moviegoing experiences/influences: "I do remember one day coming out of my
Hopalong Cassidy movie, and across the street was a cinema that only showed Italian movies, because we had a huge Italian population where I was growing up... and I saw out of that theater coming a lot of people, all adults, and they were all weeping, they were all sobbing, out on the street, crying -- which, you know, in the 1950s, was pretty extraordinary -- and I had to see what movie it was that had the power to do that to adults. I crossed the street, and I looked at the poster, and it said
La Strada, by
Federico Fellini, and that stuck with me. Of course, I didn't see the movie for many years, and then I, too, was weeping, and I understood what kind of power movies had... Then came the fifties and the sixties -- the era of the Art movie, with a capital A. That was
Bergman, Fellini,
Kurosawa,
Truffaut,
Godard -- and those were my formative guys, you know? Those were the filmmakers who let me know that movies could be art as well as entertainment."
