Italian Neorealism developed as a major film movement in Italy after World War II when the country aimed to restart with a liberal ideology. Neorealist filmmakers sought to tell stories of everyday peoples' lives using non-professional actors, filming on location with minimal resources. Vittorio De Sica's 1948 film Bicycle Thieves is considered exemplary of the movement in its portrayal of the working class and themes of poverty and desperation in postwar Italy. The movement gained international attention when Roberto Rossellini's Rome, Open City won awards at Cannes in 1946, establishing Italy's cinematic "golden era".
