I just received Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy (Rome Open City / Paisan / Germany Year Zero / + L'Armore) from BFI.

As the booklet indicates, the first two films were restored in 4K:


Rome, Open City was restored in 4K from the original negatives and a duplicating nitrate positive preserved by CSC - Cineteca Nazionale. The restauration was carried out by Cineta di Bologna and CSC- Cineteca Nazionale at the L'Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna, in 2013.


Paisà was restored in 4K from a 'lavender' nitrate positive preserved by CSC - Cineteca Nazionale. The restauration was carried out by Cineta di Bologna and CSC- Cineteca Nazionale at the L'Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna, in 2013.


The German version of Germany Year Zero was restored using two 'lavender' prints and a combined dublicating negative preserved at Luce Cinecittà and CSC - Cineteca Nazionale. The restauration was carried out by Cineta di Bologna and CSC- Cineteca Nazionale at the L'Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna, in 2013.


L'Amore was restored in 2K from a combined dublicating positive preserved at Luce Cinecittà.The restauration was carried out at the L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2013.


All films are presented in their original aspect ratio of 1,33:1 with original mono audio.

I'm not familiar with all the terms, but the experts should know what this all means. ;)


I'm curious to see how the movies will look.


Interesting point: Rome, Open City was never released uncut in Germany, as it seams.

Just finished watching the three movies the Blu-ray transfers are excellent especially when you realize these movies were shot just after WWII ended.
