	Vittorio De Sica
		From this singular act of unwitting complicity, Giuseppe and Pasquale's destiny would be inextricably sealed as the fortune teller identifies them as conspirators in the robbery and, unwilling to implicate Atillio, the two are sent to a juvenile correction facility for questioning and detention.
		Moreover, Pasquale's orphaning during the war and the status of Giuseppe's family as refugees forced to share a single room at a multi-family boarding house further underscore the boys' (and, in turn, the country's) sense of transience, dislocation, and impotence over their own plight and the determination of their future.
		The opening scene of the visitors wearing light colored clothing and the suffused warmth of the summer sun sharply contrast with Alberto's illness and the dark, winter clothing worn by the family as they are escorted to a detaining facility.

		Shot in the streets and alleys of Rome, De Sica uses the real-life environment of contemporary life to frame his moving drama of a desperate father whose new job delivering cinema posters is threatened when a street thief steals his bicycle.
		De Sica uses the wandering pair to witness the lives of everyday folks, but ultimately he paints a quiet, poignant portrait of father and son, played by nonprofessionals Lamberto Maggiorani and Enzo Staiola, whose understated performances carry the heart of the film.
		De Sica and scenarist Cesare Zavattini also collaborated on Shoeshine, Miracle in Milan, and Umberto D, all classics in the neorealist vein, but none of which approach the simple poetry and quiet power achieved in The Bicycle Thief.

	Vittorio De Sica by Rachele Longo Lavorato (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The anthology, structured chronologically to follow De Sica's early career as an actor right through to the last films he directed in the 1970s, boasts a lengthy introduction by the editors and twenty-four essays including well-known previously published writings and new essays commissioned for this anthology.
		The breadth of material covers an arc of a half-century of De Sica criticism (from Zavattini and Bazin's essays dating from 1952 to the original essays written expressly for this publication in 2000) and provides a diversity of perspectives (historical, ideological, aesthetic, moral, allegorical, meta-cinematic) with which to approach De Sica's work.
		The sentimentality of De Sica films must be situated, they warn, in the climate of the postwar world, and De Sica's eliciting of empathy must be seen in the context of his zeal to restore a cohesive community in a state he characterized as a 'collective cauterization of emotion.'

		Lost between the glare of his earlier Ladri di biciclette / The Bicycle Thief, and his later films with Sophia Loren, Vittorio De Sica’s 1952 film Umberto D. stands as an almost forgotten masterpiece of Italian Neo-Realism, and one of the last films that could claim to be of that movement alone.
		The truth is that it is very easy to portray the struggles of the impoverished, as De Sica did in The Bicycle Thief and in Sciuscià / Shoeshine before it, as both were laden with struggling children.
		Memories of the film by De Sica, and a new essay by film critic Stuart Klawans, are in the insert.
