aka 'the Bicycle Thieves', and one of the more famous Italian neo-realist films. Fantastic film as well - does such a good job in portraying life in a borderline-anarchic, post-war Rome and tells such a deeply-affecting story about the struggles of the unemployed. Plus the kid in it is just about the cutest you'll see in any film ever
On the other hand, I despised this. Came across as far too pretentious and elitist for my liking, the story was incredibly hard to follow and I felt absolutely no connection with the characters either. That said, the death scene at the end is probably the funniest I've ever seen, so it wasn't all bad.
