Germany Year Zero out on DVD in May

Germany Year Zero

The final film in Rossellini's acclaimed War Trilogy comes to UK DVD, exclusively from MovieMail

MovieMail, the UK's leading quality DVD and Blu-ray retailer, is delighted to announce the exclusive release of Germany Year Zero, available for the first time ever on UK DVD from May 5th 2010.

`I see this film as a prayer from Rossellini to the postwar world, a prayer for compassion.' Martin Scorsese

Completing the `war trilogy' that Roberto Rossellini started with Rome, Open City (1945) and Paisà (1946), this is one of the masterpieces of neo-realism. Set in a divided Germany it unflinchingly depicts the dehumanising impact of defeat on a guilt-ridden nation. Its a harrowing study of social disintegration held together by an exceptional performance by 12 year-old Edmund Moeschke.
