I agree with most of reviewer here that Roberto Rossellini’s Commence City is a sizable film – ground-breaking work that is yet arresting in the most simple plan. However, it appears that most of the reviewers refer to the VHS version. I bought this DVD the moment I heard that it was on DVD, and am worthy disappointed. Overall transfer is faulty, subtitles miss a bulk of dialogues, and most of all, there is at least one missing shot that I noticed in this transfer (It is the celebrated shot in which the resistant is being tortured by blowtorch) . I had VHS released by Connoisseur, which is edifying to this DVD on every level.
So lift VHS or better yet articulate Image to restore this gem.
I wonder about some complaints over this DVD. The transfer is elegant – it’s an mature, black-and-white film and for all that looks lovely darn great. Less than 5% of the dialogue is untranslated in subtitles, and as an Italian speaker I can snort you what’s left out is insignificant chit chat.
See it for the beautiful performances, the achievement of its making, and for the history it portrays.
