Rossellini Part 3

MoMA's Rossellini retrospective continues with Germany, Year Zero (1947).
A bombed out Berlin serves as a backdrop for the tale of a twelve year old boy who in order to survive engages in petty crime. He's presented with an ideology similar to that of the Nazis and feels compelled to act.
Fear(1954), starring Ingrid Bergman was an attempt to show the material and moral state of Germany 9 years after the end of the war. Munich is shown as a bustling and vibrant city, but it's inhabitants experiment on rabbits and double cross and blackmail each other to no end!
Was the last film Rossellini and Bergman made together. Not just their best work(so i though anyway).
