“Rossellini’s goal was nothing less than to educate the entire world” – Martin Scorsese, Foreword, Roberto Rossellini: Magician of the Real “It isn’t much of an exaggeration to say that, after him, film could never be the same again.” –Guardian UK THE DIRECTOR’s Series: ROSSELLINI 2-DISC COLLECTOR’S EDITION Street Date: 11/11/08Order Date: 10/15/08DVD SRP: $29.98PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONThe latest installment of The Director’s Series, Lionsgate’s collection featuring works from exceptional film directors across the world, arrives this November with The Director’s Series: Rossellini 2-Disc Collector’s Edition. Famed filmmaker Roberto Rossellini was an innovator in the style of Italian cinema known as “Italian Neorealism,” which focused on stories of working-class Italians in post-World War II Italy. Often using non-actors, Rossellini crafted a technique that influenced the work of Vittorio De Sica, Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini and, decades later, Martin Scorsese. The Director’s Series: Rossellini 2-Disc Collector’s Edition includes two classic films never before available on DVD in the U.S. – Era Notte a Roma (Escape by Night), Golden Gate Award Winner at the San Francisco International Film Festival; and Dov’e la liberta? (Where is Freedom?), which was declared “Rossellini’s best film” by Cahiers du Cinema. Featuring stylish foil stamp packaging, The Director’s Series: Rossellini 2-Disc Collector’s Edition arrives on November 11, 2008 for the suggested retail price of $29.98. Era Notte a Roma (Escape by Night) Synopsis: Described as “the Italian condition as understood by Rossellini after 15 years of ups and downs in the postwar world” by The New York Times and a “very intelligent work of enormous humanity” by Time Out, Era Notte a Roma is the story of three allied prisoners – a Russian, an American and an Englishman – who attempt to escape still-occupied Italy with the help of a young couple from Rome.
