Shot on location in Rome with a cast of nonactors, Vittorio de Sica's Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) is hailed as a masterpiece of the Italian neo-realist film movement. It tells the story of Antonio Ricci, who needs his stolen bike to find work, and who together with his son, must confront his place in the morally complex world of post-war Italy. The 1948 film was honored with awards worldwide and is considered by many in the film community to be among the best films ever made.Visit the library catalog here.
