The second of two films from one of Italy's most accomplished directors starring
Edmund Meschke with Ernest Pittschau, Ingetraud Hinze

Shot in the British, American and Russian zones of Berlin and acted entirely by amateurs, Rossellini's Germany Year Zero chronicles the physical and mental disintegration of a population who have been reduced to little more than animals by continual hunger and deprivation.
