Germania anno zero (1948)

 

A young German boy faces the problems of the tough life in the immediate post WWII Berlin.

Filmed among the ruins of post WWII Berlin and with a remarkable cast of German actors this film presents a realistic, albeit devastatingly bleak and tragic view of life after the catastrophe of war.
 

Halliwell*: "Both realistic and pessimistic, this depressing film has a savage power of its own but totally fails to be constructive."

Maltin***1/2: "Shattering neorealist masterpiece...Heartbreaking story of a childhood tragically, irrevocably tainted, with a devastating finale."
