Movie Reviews:
- barrymost: When in Rome… keep an eye on your bicycle! Or else it might be stolen and you’ll find yourself fruitlessly searching the streets of Italy, as the father and son do in this classic Italian film. Lamberto Maggiorani, as the desperate, out of work father, and Enzo Staiola, as his frustrated young son, play off each other nicely and a nice pace keeps things interesting. It’s heralded as one of the greatest movies ever made, but personally I don’t quite see why. It’s a good story none the less, and it kept my attention. There’s a very satisfying dose of irony at the end.
