В 1946 году итальянский режиссер Витторио Де Сика поставил фильм "Шуша", посвящённый судьбе двух беспризорных мальчиков в послевоенной Италии. Обращённый к социальной проблематике и проникнутый сочувствием к обездоленным, "Шуша" стал одним из первых неореалистических фильмов и принёс своим создателям славу не только в Италии, но и во всём мире. В 1948 году "Шуша" получил Оскара как лучший иностранный фильм. Шуша (Sciuscia) – это искаженное итальянское произношение английского слова "Shoeshine" (чистильщик обуви). Этим фильмом начинается знаменитая тетралогия Витторио Де Сика. Несмотря на всемирную известность, в России фильм не демонстрировался.

Antamoro's CHRISTUS, epic in scale and ambition, and featuring decidedly otherworldly special effects, was released in 1916. Telling the story of the Life of Christ, the film is divided into three segments-- three Mysteries. The first of these includes the Birth of Jesus, the arrival of the Magi, Herod and the slaughter of the innocents, the flight into Egypt. The second Mystery features the expulsion of the merchants from the Temple, Mary Magdalene's conversion and Christ's entry into Jerusalem. The third Mystery is itself divided into three separate parts, which are The Passion, The Death and The Resurrection.
