Review of Umberto D. (1952) by Andrew L — 26 Feb 2016
When my History of Film professor showed my class this film I was at first skeptical of I would enjoy it. However I can now safely say that this has become one of my favorite films of all time. With a cast of unprofessional actors this movie is much more relatable then today's modern day films.
The story is so compelling, that of an older man attempting to find a way to support himself and his dog after losing his pension, that it left me with a pit in my stomach towards the end of the film, due to just how connected you become to the characters.
This is something no other film has ever made me feel, and I'd doubt ever will. For anyone interested in film history, majoring in film media, or just an average moviegoer, this is a film I believe everyone should see at least once, because of the pure emotion you feel radiating from the incredible acting and story.
