Since the 1940's Roberto Rossellini was a forward thinking revolutionary, so why does 'Stromboli' feel so stuck in the past?. I think it's as a result of the films semi-autobiographical & biographical nature, and the "sinful" Rossellini + Bergman relationship that flourished during production; both a very 50's relationship and a very scandalous one for the period.
