Vittorio De Sica's UMBERTO D screening at LE CIN/REWIND this February for one session only.
Umberto D is a movie that leaves a lasting impression in your memory banks. One of those films that comes back to you during your daily life, it's scenes and composition so beautiful with the landscape and cityscapes of old time Italy presented in classic black and white, it's a film that is solemn, heart-wrenching and so beautifully human. - Graziano Di Martino
"Umberto D follows an elderly pensioner as he strives to make ends meet during Italy’s postwar economic recovery. Alone except for his dog, Flike, Umberto struggles to maintain his dignity in a city where human kindness seems to have been swallowed up by the forces of modernization. His simple quest to satisfy his basic needs—food, shelter, companionship—makes for one of the most heartbreaking stories ever filmed, and an essential classic of world cinema." Criterion
Screening on Sunday 4th of February as part of our VITTORIO DE SICA special along with THE BICYCLE THIEVES (Ladri di Biciclette).
