The Bicycle Thief / Bicycle Thieves (1948) (Italy) - (Movies To See Before You Die - World Cinema/Drama) |
This is a fine example of mastery over simplicity and expressions. Applauded all over the world for its content and execution, you may find the movie very simple and straight. But if you are a person who cares and feels about human emotions then you are sure going to love it a lot. The story is about a person who needs a bicycle as a requisite to get a job. After he acquires it, giving away some of his belongings, he finds his bicycle has been stolen on the very first day of his job. Now the rest of the film is about how he goes on searching for his lost bicycle along with his 8-10 years old son. And the hidden message of the movie is to see the journey of their search through the eyes of the child.
Directed By Vittorio De Sica

Yes,bicycle thieves is indeed a truly world class film.infact,most of De Sica\'s films are world classics in general.I would recommend you to surely watch De sica\'s other masterpieces like Umberto D ,Children are waiting ,Garden of Finzi Continis,Yesterday,Today and Tomorrow,Shoeshine etc.Watch them for sure and you will definately treasure every moment of these films.
