This drama was directed by Vittorio De Sica in 1948. This film is a brilliant take on the aftermath of World War II and its social issues. It follows Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) who finds a job that requires him to use a bicycle, but the bike he purchases gets stolen on his very first day of work. Antonio and his son Bruno (Enzo Staiola) conduct a search for the stolen bike. The main focus of this film was the relationship between Antonio and his son as well as the poverty in Italy after World War II. I give this film a personal score of 8/10.
