Negative Positive
Title: Painfully brillant!
Review: "The Bicycle Thief" was an absolutely mesmerizing film. From start to finish there is a tension in the film that is absolutely riveting. De Sica takes us through post-war Italy where employment is scarce and competition in the local job market is high.It is interesting to watch the fall of an honest man to the very depths of despair and thievery in an attempt to keep a job so he can care for his family.Tense and moving.
