MANIFESTATIONS OF NEOREALISM IN THE NOVELLA “ALIENATION” AND THE SCREENPLAY “A PEASANT ON A BICYCLE” BY GEORGI MISHEV

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to trace the influence of the aesthetics of Italian neorealism in cinema on two works by Georgi Mishev – the novella “Alienation” and the screenplay “A Peasant on a Bicycle”. The historical emergence and diverse influences on neorealism are outlined, as well as its specific features. The manifestations of neorealism in Georgi Mishev's work are studied – its characteristic cinematic quality, unadulteratedness, etc., as well as its interaction with the dogmas of socialist realism.
