Rossellini is one of my 10 favorite directors of all time so I think I hold him in higher esteem than you. Here are my top 10 (all of which are **** out of ****):
10. L’amore
9. General Della Rovere
8. Paisan
7. Rome, Open City
6. The Flowers of St. Francis
5. Europa ’51
4. Stromboli
3. Germany Year Zero
2. The Taking of Power of Louis XIV
1. Journey to Italy
I think he is a great director, I really wanted to give “Stromboli” a higher rating, (I gave it * * * stars out of * * * *), but the overall result felt too uneven when compared to Journey to Italy and to a smaller extent “Europa ’51”
You might be happy to know that I have upgraded my score for “Stromboli” to * * * 1/2 stars. Ditto for Paisan, The Age of the Medici, and Cartesius.
