"1860"
1933
Directed by Alessandro Blasetti

The events surrounding the May, 1860 Battle of Calatafimi, in which the Sicilians rebelled against and defeated the troops of the King of Naples are depicted here through the story of a young shepherd who leaves his new bride to join the rebels. He carries a message to Garibaldi in Genoa asking for support.  Most noted for its visual style, Blasetti uses natural landscapes, natural light and non-actors to achieve what is widely regarded as an important precursor to Italian neo-realism.  "An elegant and poetic work." - Holt Foreign Film Guide.  72 minutes.
