Modern sainthood
After filming stories about the resistance of the Italian people during the Fascist and Nazi regimes, and the story of a German child against the barren landscape of Berlin after the war, Roberto Rossellini made a movie about Francis of Assisi and started a love and work relationship with actress Ingrid Bergman. In his evolution to works like ‘The Rise To Power of Louis XIV’, he made a series of melodramas with Bergman, of which ‘Stromboli’ and ‘Voyage To Italy’ are always considered the most important. Add to that list this fine drama, in which bourgeois housewife Irene suffers a transformation when confronted with the misery of those who had not been benefited with the European ‘economic miracle.’ Considered a saint by those she helped (Giulietta Masina included), Rossellini makes quite obvious that Irene reached that state by detouring from the usual roads she took as the wife of a prominent industrialist (Alexander Knox.) Not only has she a Marxist cousin –who curiously does not preach his philosophy, but gives Irene advise whenever she talks about the misery she is discovering- but she also ventures into the slums, helps a single mother, a prostitute and a thief. The final section of the movie reminded me of ‘María de mi corazón’, a latter film written by Gabriel García Márquez, based on a real story. As in ‘María…’ there is neither opportunity nor chance to explain clearly what she’s going through to husband or authorities, leading her to a dead end of desperation. Only sainthood will save her from the dehumanization around her.

Ingrid Bergman creates an astonishing character!
I suppose that when “Europa ’51” was going to be filmed there was a great professional mutual understanding between Rossellini (the director) and Ingrid Bergman (main actress). It’s really astonishing the way Ingrid Bergman’s face changes throughout the movie. She really looks like a “human God” (specially towards the end) just by looking at her expressions. If you have the opportunity of watching “Europa ’51” twice, you will notice that her character in the beginning of the story, where Irene Girard (Ingrid Bergman) is the mother of a well-off family, is totally different from the last shots. I also like how Irene contrasts with the way of living of the poor children and working-women. Although Rossellini’s movie is a bit lengthy, bearing in mind it was made in Italy in 1952, many events occur with short scenes perfectly connected obtaining a gorgeous dynamism as a whole. I’m almost sure that my favorite scene is the same as the majority of the people who watched “Europa ’51”. I refer to the moving ending of the story. I also like how the camera moves around capturing the contrast of expressions between the sick patients and Irene. I encourage everybody to watch this masterpiece, even twice!
