this film is one of the saddest pieces of cinema ever created. it makes
dancer in the dark and schindler's list look like a slapstick comedy compared to this tale of post-second world war era rome. the bicycle thief is a film of monumental importance and i can only say that you really have to watch to understand. this is neorealism at its finest and from the opening credits you will care about the characters having known nothing about them. i don't want to mention too much but the church scene is fucking brilliant when the rich scream at antonio to quiet down as they recite prayers about how they suffer for god.
watch this movie!!!! (sorry that sounds preachy)

I watched this movie when I took a class on Italian cinema in college. It killed me. The scene in the restaurant with the father and his son was just too much to bear.
