Living Off Script

His marriage to Ingrid Bergman is on the rocks, his career at a low ebb: at the age of 50, director Roberto Rossellini dares to make a fresh start and escapes to India. Disillusioned with cinema, driven by curiosity and fascinated by the fledgling medium of television, he embarks on a surprising new chapter of artistic rebirth. With rare archive footage and moving testimony, this film dives deep into the life of one of the most successful Italian filmmakers of the twentieth century.
