| Synopsis | The father of Italian neorealism, master director Vittorio de Sica won three Best Foreign Language Film Oscars for his compelling portraits of working class life in post-war Italy. This very special collection features three of De Sica's landmark cinematic works, including his masterpiece, The Bicycle Thief, voted one of the greatest movies of all time.
THE BICYCLE THIEF A milestone of Italian filmmaking and foundation stone of the neorealist film movement, this harrowing portrait of loss and depravation in post-war Rome won an honorary Oscar for Best Foreign Film and established De Sica as one of the world's great directors. "a brilliant and devastating film...[an] absolute triumph!" The New York Times. Winner, Academy Award, Best Foreign Language Film (1949) MIRACLE IN MILAN De Sica's second effort as a producer-director is the charming story of a saint-like orphan boy who rises up to fight for the rights of vagabonds living in a shanty town that is threatened by a greedy developer. Winner, Grand Prize of the Festival, Cannes Film Festival (1951). Winner, NYFCC Award, Best Foreign Language Film (1951). THE ROOF A seriocomic tale of a poor newlywed couple who struggle to find a home of their own in crowded post-war Rome, writer Cesare Zavattini, De Sica's collaborator on The Bicycle Thief and Miracle in Milan, concocts a tender fable of love and poverty, and is released for the first time ever on DVD. "a kind of poetry...a deeply touching film." The New York Times. Winner, OCIC Award, Cannes Film Festival (1956) |
