Review of Shoeshine (1987) by Adrian B — 05 May 2012
Tragic, disturbing and devastating portrait of how boys become outcasts in World War two scarred Italy. Great example of Italian neo-realist cinematic style. Feels like part of a trilogy with the other masterpieces Bicycle Thieves and Umberto D.
, also by De Sica. An essential masterpiece.
