Italian neorealism was a film movement which portrayed everyday life among "the people" -- the poor and working class. Neorealist films were characterized by their use of unprofessional actors and were often filmed on location, instead of on a set. The director Roberto Rossellini is popularly thought of as the father of neorealism, as he began the movement with his film Rome, Open City. Also, it's worth mentioning that film historians debate whether neorealism should count as an actual movement, as very few neorealist films were made, and as it's very difficult to categorize a film as neorealist.

Does Neorealism theory believe in UN?

To an extent. While neorealists are more inclined to cooperate than realists, they still believe that states are selfish by nature and that we are living under some form of anarchy. They are concerned with absolute v. relative gains - either they solely care about what they receive, or they measure their gains relative to that of an other state. Neorealists are also worried about cheating since there is no one central authority to prevent this from happening.

What is Liberal Institutionalism and neorealism and what are their major differences?

liberal institutionalism= institutions can create peace out of international anarchy. These types of governments believe that multilateral relationships are helpful in creating cooperation and interaction between differing states. The belief that institutions like the UN help middle powers receive more access to the international forum to discuss issues such as terrorism, global warming and humanitarian issues which need to be discussed in a multilateral context because they affect everyone. Liberal institutionalists believe that domestic politics are important to foreign reltions because state preferences are important and should dictate governments decisions. neorealism= Believes international institutions can't create peace and cooperation among states. They believe that state's must maximize power to achieve security. The strongest power needs to have other country alliances. Trade and security is first priority over human rights and value promotion. Dislikes multilateral relationships such as the UN. Does not believe they are very useful. Bilateral relations are key to power and security Neo-realism also believes that domestic politics do not affect foreign policy because the public is not informed in this arena. That's it in a nutshell. If you are interested in a more critical look at it, I'd recommend the works of Mearsheimer for neorealism and Keohane for liberal institutionalism.
