Roberto Rossellini - Living Without A Script

This documentary explores the life and work of Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, focusing specifically on a period of instability in 1956. Facing the collapse of his marriage to Ingrid Bergman and a string of professional failures, Rossellini struggled with intense public scrutiny and a creative block. After Bergman returned to Hollywood, he traveled to India at the request of Prime Minister Nehru to film the country's development. This journey served as a search for emotional and artistic renewal, as he drew inspiration from the intersection of Indian tradition and modern progress.

The project was directed by Ilaria De Laurentiis, Andrea Paolo Massara, and Raffaele Brunetti, with Brunetti also serving as a producer alongside Uldis Cekulis. The cast features Sergio Castellitto portraying Roberto Rossellini, Kasia Smutniak as Ingrid Bergman, and Isabella Rossellini appearing as herself.
