Abstract
Non-actors, real locations, unpolished cinematography, episodic narra tion—these are some of the most commonly cited traits of the loosely collected group of films known as Italian Neorealism. The list serves to foreground the documentary influence on the tradition. This is no surprise, given the docu mentary's close connection to questions of realism. The list is usually qualified by another list, emphasizing items such as continuity editing, sentimental story lines, and conventionally scored music tracks. These other techniques are cited to prove the point that Neorealism does not (and perhaps cannot) achieve its goal of capturing reality. The world of Neorealism is not captured, but constructed.
