Additional Information
The recipient of international acclaim, Vittorio de Sica's Italian Neorealist masterwork, THE BICYCLE THIEF, is a treasure of world cinema. After nearly two years of unemployment, Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) finally finds work posting bills. But he needs a bicycle to do the job. Unfortunately, he was forced to pawn his own bicycle long ago. In a humbling, tragic scene, Antonio exchanges his family's linen for his bicycle. But when the bike is stolen on his first day of work, he must comb the streets of Rome in search of the bike: his family's only means to survival. After three days of hunting, Antonio and his son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola), find the thief (Vittorio Antonucci)--but without witnesses or evidence, the police are unwilling to help Antonio. Hopeless, Antonio and Bruno wander aimlessly through Rome, landing outside of a soccer stadium where hundreds of bicycles are parked. His will broken, Antonio attempts to steal a bike but is caught in the act. Thematically, Vittoria de Sica's THE BICYCLE THIEF details an everyman story of loss of innocence in the face of a destitute society, while the film's poignant acting and directing creates an individual and heart-wrenching tale of one man's struggle to feed his family. The film is often considered one of the masterpieces of 20th century cinema.
Reviews
Film4.com - Profoundly moving allegory that balances the grimness of its characters' plight against some of the period's most elegant visual poetry., Empire - One of the greatest cinematic experiences ever., Total Film - The definition of Italian neo-realism., New York Times - Again the Italians have sent us a brilliant and devastating film in Vittorio De Sica's rueful drama of modern city life, The Guardian - BICYCLE THIEVES is a brilliant, tactlessly real work of art.

  • Old film with a bit of magic

    This is an old film but still has that bit of magic. Made in italian with subtitles this is good entertainment for cyclists and non-cyclists alike.

  • A great, timeless classic film!

    Quite simply this is a classic film! The story line is simple: a man desperate for work gets a job for which he needs a bicycle. His bicycle is stolen! Then follows a panic stricken search to recover his bicycle. All the cast are totally believable. The scenery totally authentic. The film shows how it is possible to create a masterpiece without spectacular special effects, superstar names and complex story lines. I'll watch this dvd again and again.

  • Pedal power!

    An atmosperic tale of a man's attempts to feed his family in the ruins of post-war Rome. I bought the film because it appears on many "Best Film" lists and also because it fitted in nicely with a school project on bicycles. Black and white, of course and sub-titled, happily. Recommended!
