Review of Umberto D. (1952) by James M — 08 May 2010
Another brilliant tale from De Sica, and almost as tragic and emotionally engaging as The Bicycle Thief. Umberto D. centers on a old man facing the idea of poverty. The film follows him and his dog as he searches the city for money.
The story is simple and there is little to no action, but the last scene when Umberto must decide to leave Flike or not was extremely touching and sad. De Sica has proven himself a worthy Italian director and a master of neorealism.
