The Man with the Cross (1943) DVD-R
Starring Alberto Tavazzi, Roswita Schmidt, Attilio Dottesio
Director: Roberto Rossellini
Print: Black and White
Runtime: 72 Minutes
Genre: NA
Language: Italian
Subtitle: English
"Man With a Cross" was Roberto Rossellini's final film in what is now known as his "Fascist Trilogy", a trio of films made whilst Italy was under Fascist control. The film is typically brushed off as a propaganda peace – artists were forbidden from straying too far beyond Mussolini's party line – but this isn't quite so.
Unfolding across an apocalyptic landscape (cackling flames, wartorn vistas, tanks cruising the landscape like steel gargoyles), the film watches as a lowly military chaplain navigates the Eastern front. Here he attempts to bring God, and a little compassion, to various characters he stumbles upon.
