Relatively brief but authoritative and accessible overview of Rossellini’s life and career. Focuses on seven films, highlighting the constant evolution in his conception of how cinema could best convey the “truth.” The first chapter, “Rossellini and Realism: The Trajectory of a Career” (pp. 1–31) is a particularly good introduction to the serious study of Rossellini.

Compact and extremely useful overview of Rossellini’s approach to filmmaking, a blend of respecting the reality in front of the camera and the perspective of the director behind it, followed by detailed analysis of his major films up to his turn to television, often highlighting their common elements.
