If you loved The Battle of Algiers, try Paisan

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Battle of Algiers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Paisan is

You walk into war-torn Italy as a soldier or civilian in six shifting encounters. Allied advance meets everyday life across liberated lands and German retreats. Rossellini’s neorealist snapshot pins war not on battles but on fleeting human bridges.
