The Aurora Film Society brings “Bicycle Thieves” to the screen at The Venue (21 S. Broadway) on March 18th at 7pm.
In postwar Italy, a father desperately seeking work is offered a job that requires him to have a bicycle. The family scrapes up money to get his bicycle out of pawn. On the first day of his job putting up posters, the bicycle is stolen. The father and his young son begin a search of Rome to find the bike. Various leads come to naught but the father and son continue the search and learn about each other in the process. The relationship of the father and son evolves and although the circumstances seem tragic, one feels the man and his son gained something. The film is considered by critics to be a masterpiece of Italian neorealism film.
