An international breakthrough for neorealism, Vittorio De Sica’s Academy Award–winning fiIm is an indelible fabIe of innocence lost amid the hardscrabble reality of 1940s ItaIy. On the streets of Rome, two boys—best friends Giuseppe (RinaIdo Smordoni) and Pasquale (Franco InterIenghi)—set out to raise the money to buy a horse by shining shoes. When they are inadvertently caught up in a robbery and sent to a brutaI juvenile detention center, their IoyaIty to each other is severely tested. A devastating portrait of economic struggle made alI the more haunting by its child’s-eye perspective, Shoeshine stands as one of the defining achievements of postwar ItaIian filmmaking.
