Movie: Bicycle Thieves (1948)

Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di biciclette):

This film follows a few days in the life of a man living in poverty who has just been given a job as a bill sticker – a job that requires him to have a bicycle.

The poverty displayed in the film was really quite depressing, and the job was received as a god send.

The futility of the man and his searching in the second half of the film was very well portrayed too.

It’s worth a watch, but, it is a depressing film.

I give it 8/10
