vittorio de sica

Jackie and Greg join the search for Antonio's missing bike in Rome for Vittorio De Sica's BICYCLE THIEVES from 1948. Topics of discussion include the film's production, the use of non-actors, its simplicity and clear storytelling, its connection to PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE, and why it remains the most iconic of the Italian neorealist films.

In the second episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by stunt actor Danny Hernandez and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss the gutwrenching depiction of children lost in Italy's post-war system of cruelty, punishment, and bureaucracy in Vittorio De Sica's stunning coming-of-age masterpiece, Shoeshine (1946).

In the twelfth episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and stunt actor Danny Hernandez to discuss Vittorio De Sica's delightful and heart warming indictment of society gone wrong in the fantastical inversion of neo-realist tragedy in Miracle in Milan (1951).

Cette semaine, au balado de 24 images, Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau reçoit Céline Gobert pour discuter de l'oeuvre et de la démarche de Robert Eggers à l'occasion de la sortie récente de The Northman.

En deuxième partie d'émission, Carlos Solano revient sur Miracle à Milan, film longtemps sous-estimé de Vittorio De Sica qui va ressortir en salle dans une version restaurée.

Connor & Riley take it all the way back to 1948 to discuss the Italian Neo-Realist classic: Bicycle Thieves. They admire how the film breaks all of the Hollywood conventions of the time and how more realistic films can touch us on such a personal and emotional basis.
