Synopsis
Named by Andre Bazin as "the only valid Communist film of the past decade," the film uses authentic environments and non-professional actors, in the spirit of Italian Neo-Realism. Ricci, an unemployed man in Rome, finds work posting bills, but the bicycle he needs to keep his job is stolen. With his young son, he roams the city in search of his bicycle.
