Bicycle Thieves (1948)

£0.00

(Ladri di Biciclette)


Country: IT
Technical: bw 90m
Director: Vittorio de Sica
Cast: Lamberto Maggiorani, Enzo Staiola

Synopsis:

A worker loses his bicycle and sets off with his son in search of it.

Review:

The amount of human truth De Sica milks from this simple story is astonishing and the source of the film's fame. An example of the post-war Italian neo-realism, it uses non-professional actors and locations to get closer to its subject: the plight of ordinary people in a world just struggling to its feet again.
