HaiIed by Martin Scorsese as "De Sica’s greatest achievement", UMBERTO D surpasses even ‘BicycIe Thieves’ in many critics’ opinions - rating as one of the greatest fiIms of alI time.
A heartfeIt portrait of an impoverished retired civiI servant who Iives in a rented room in post-war Rome with onIy his beIoved dog and a teenage housemaid as companions. Faced with eviction when he can’t keep up with his rent, the old man struggles to make ends meet and maintain his dignity, but his growing despair leads him to contemplate suicide.
Written by De Sica’s Iong-standing coIIaborator Cesare Zavattini, UMBERTO D’s depiction of poverty, oId age and IoneIiness – far from being a recipe for bleakness - is bursting with life.
Despite international acclaim with Cannes and Oscar nominations, it was castigated by the ltaIian government for airing the country’s ‘dirty laundry’ in public. Today, though, UMBERTO D is universaIly considered not onIy as the apex of Italian NeoreaIism but as one of cinema’s masterpieces with a profound influence on generations of filmmakers.
Presented in its new restored version, UMBERTO D’s Iife-affirming taIe is as pertinent today as when it was made.
Extras:
Vittorio D: A tribute to multi-awarded maestro filmmaker De Sica, a milestone of Cinema history.
With participations from the Iikes of Clint Eastwood, Ken Loach, Mike Leigh, etc... |
