We Weren't Just Bicycle Thieves. Neorealism
[A] short charmer of a doc...all [the] history and critical appreciation is lightened by Lizzani's genial goofiness.
We Weren't Just Bicycle Thieves. Neorealism
WE WEREN’T JUST BICYCLE THIEVES. NEOREALSIM is a celebration of this era, taking us deep into the period of Italian cinema that influenced world cinema from the early 1940s to the 1960s. Director and producer Gianni Bozzacchi chronicles this amazing time in film through clips from the classic neorealisim films and interviews with the era’s great directors, including Rossellini, Visconti, DeSica, Scorsese, Bertolucci, Olmi, the Taviani brothers and commentary from notables including Umberto Eco, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Paolo Galluzzi.
Many claim that Neorealism was a rebirth of cinema or the birth of the new cinema. These amazing Italian filmmakers truly are much more than ‘bicycle thieves” and this film tells their story. Narrated and co-written by the award winning filmmaker Carlo Lizzani and produced by Bruno Benetti and Triworld Cinema.
