Roberto Rossellini is known as the father of neorealism in Italian cinema, mainly due to works like his masterpiece, Rome Open City, and other “resistance” films like Escape by Night. Like most neorealist films, Escape by Night is a very bleak film — part tragedy, part melodrama, part romance, and part suspense. This gorgeous and massive poster is a wonderful tribute to the genre and to Rome, the eternal city that birthed it. It features wonderful art courtesy of master Italian poster artist, Ercole Brini.
