The directors were free to film about economic, political and social issues.
Rome, Open City (1945) by Roberto Rosselini is accepted to be the first film
that started neorealism and Umberto D. (1952) by Vittorio De Sica is
considered to be the last of it.
For some critics, Federico Fellinis La Strada (1954) is the last neorealist film.
After World War II, the fascist censorship lifted from the film industry and therefore the directors were
free to film about anything and this helped to relive their realism.
Most of the films talk about the poverty, unemployment, hopelessness, unhappiness of the public
that rose after the post-war economic problems occurred.
After Mussolini, Italian Spring began which meant goodbye to the old ways and welcome to the
realistic approach.

not want to be remembered of their poverty, their despair anymore.
The criticism to De Sicas films from the conservative politician Giulio Andreotti,
who said Neorealism is a dirty laundry that shouldn't be washed and hung to
dry in the open.
