The progression of the film from start to finish could be looked at in terms of the succession of episodes as they are ordered in the final editing of the film or, alternatively, it could be seen in terms of the gradual
construction of the film itself, as it was shot episode by episode (in the order Sicily, Monastery, Naples, Florence, Po delta, Rome) – which might provoke an interpretation of the film as being a gradually deepening
analysis of a complex web of experiences. For example, the first three episodes to be shot deal with the effects of the war on ordinary Italian civilians, and with the ways in which they cope with this. These episodes search for, and find, moral values at the most basic and simple level of humanity. The fourth and fifth episodes to be shot constitute together an elegiac commemoration of the Resistance, a theme absent elsewhere in the film, and only separated by the Monastery episode as a result of the decision to edit the episodes together in a ‘geographical’ order (a northerly movement). Paisà can be seen as telling the story of the emergence of its own narrative; the film gradually discovers the story it has to tell. A third possibility would be to see a historical progression, starting from the political and historical situation described in the final episode, proceeding through the encounters of the Sicily and Monastery episodes, and arriving at the shame and degradation depicted in the Rome and Naples episodes. [...] The first choice (the succession of episodes as ordered in the film) could be looked at from the point of view of the function of the overall narrative for its audience, meeting its need for explanation, rather than as purely a matter of historical representation: the film starts with an invasion by the Americans of a degraded nation – what appears on the ‘surface’; it ends by penetrating behind the surface to the population’s resistance to Nazism and Fascism to discover the ‘truth’ about Italians. In the first three episodes, the Americans see only the ‘surface’; in the last three they encounter the ‘truth.’ However, it is very probable that the final ordering of the episodes was dictated by the desire to give a simple ‘geographically’ progressive succession to the six stories. The film is concerned with values. It is as though the film, as it moves forward, leans backwards to reach out for those values. (Christopher Wagstaff)
