A very great movie
Tells the story of an unsuccessful uprising against the Nazis in Rome. One of the movie's very great achievements is to show, in its closing moments, in a completely unforced way, how, although the resistance movement is crushed, yet there still remains an objective reason for hope, thereby avoiding defeatism and despair (another brilliant movie which accomplishes the same is "The Organizer"). A moving, devastating, uplifting film.
