Neorealism
Neorealism is a cultural movement in cinema that, following the realism in literature, brings elements of true life in the stories it describes, in contrast with a tendency to depict a world mainly existing in imagination only.
The movement was developed in Europe, mainly soon after the end of WWII, with notable examples in Italy.
