Review of Umberto D. (1952) by Henrik S — 29 May 2009
Someone please explain it to me, what is so masterful about this movie ? I am not saying I did not like it and I do agree with the praise for the rookie lead actor, bzt apart from that, it was a solid and bleak social study of post-war Italy, more specifically the portray of an older citizen affected by circumstance.
Yet, the movie is no Capra or Wilder and I cannot see the genius in it.
