The Bicycle Thieves
A key film in what became known as the Italian Neo-Realist movement, inaugarated in post-WWII Italy through the use of lightweight 16mm cameras, a cast of non-professional actors and actual locations rather than studio sets.

When he finally lands a job as a bill-sticker, his happiness is short-lived as his bicycle, essential for the promised job, is stolen. With his small son Bruno he tramps the city in a desperate search for the precious bicycle.
