DOGME 45 VS ITALIAN NEOREALISM

The rules of dogme 45 are:

  1. Filming must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in.
  2. The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa.
  3. The camera must be a hand-held camera. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. The film must not take place where the camera is standing; filming must take place where the action takes place.
  4. The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable.
  5. Optical work and filters are forbidden.
  6. The film must not contain superficial action.
  7. Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden (that is to say that the film takes place here and now).
  8. Genre movies are not acceptable.
  9. The final picture must be transferred to the Academy 35mm, with an aspect ratio of 4:3, that is, not widescreen.
  10. The director must not be credited.
I think that Dogme and Italian Neorealism is very different because Italian Neorealism is based on society problems and it is usually in black and white; while Dogme movies have to have colours and the director must not be credited for the things. Italian Neorealism credits the director and uses a lot of props while Dogme 45 doesn't want to use props, but uses just natural stuff.
