Film Club | Bicycle Thieves (1948)

Adapted from a novel by Luigi Bartolini, the quiet tragedy of a father’s desperate hunt for a stolen bicycle that he depends on for his work has a fable-like simplicity. For all its vivid documentation of a downtrodden Rome, it is as a universal tale of human striving that De Sica’s film has proved influential. In post-war Italy, a working-class man's bicycle is stolen. He and his son set out to find it, Golden Globe Winner of best Foreign Film in 1950.
