BICYCLE THIEVES
aka THE BICYCLE THIEF; LADRI DI BICICLETTE
Italy
| 1948 | Vittorio De Sica
“A masterpiece…the most universally praised movie on earth since WWII.” So said The Village Voice at one time about Vittorio De Sica’s heart-wrenching classic, the pinnacle of Italian neo-realism, which finished among the 10 best movies of all time in Sight & Sound’s 1952 and 1962 “greatest films” polls. Shot on location in postwar Rome with non-professional actors, the film tells of a long-unemployed man who, accompanied by his young son, scours the city for his stolen bicycle, desperately needed for his new job. Subtitles. DCP. 89 min.
