The Bicycle Thief (1948)Directed by Vittorio De Sica, not rated, 93 minutes
The Bicycle Thief is an utterly demoralizing and painfully honest Italian neo-realist film about a poor man and his son, who go searching for the man's stolen bicycle, which he must have to keep his job. The acting is authentic and the characters feel real - their desperation is palpable. The story is fairly simple but it packs an enormous punch, it's like being transplanted to post-war Italy. The Bicycle Thief is not an easy film
to watch, but its devastating story is relatable and emotionally powerful. You'll like it if: You like sad movies, movies about family, Italian cinema, Boyz n the Hood or Umberto D.
