If you loved Miracle in Milan, try Bicycle Thieves

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Vittorio De Sica, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Miracle in Milan, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

foreign gem

What Bicycle Thieves is

Rome, post-war, a bicycle bell ringing. A father and son scour the city streets, a stolen bike their only hope for a steady income. De Sica grounds neorealism in the everyday struggles of the working class.
