In poverty-stricken postwar Rome, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle, which he needs for work, is stolen. With his young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight, Bicycle Thieves embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity, social rectitude, and brutal honesty.

Buy it. This is one of the best films ever made. If you are reading this review then you must be checking this film out. Enough procrastinating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by J***K on 10 May 2016* Great to see such an iconic film restored to its full glory ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extraordinary example of Italian Neorealism. *by F***R on 17 December 2020* Actor turned director Vittorio De Sica won a well deserved Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for this brilliant, original and trendsetting picture about a worker in Rome trying to earn a living for his family. De Sica used a non-professional cast to portray the simple characters, headlined by Lamberto Maggiorani, a real life factory worker. Enzo Staiola plays his young son, and deserves his second billing ahead of Lianella Carell, who plays his mother. The simple storyline was written by De Sica with the collaboration of three other writers. Unlike some other neorealist pictures, this one is beautifully shot by Carlo Montuori, who uses a lot of natural light in the many outdoor scenes. De Sica makes outstanding use of the many wonderful locations throughout Rome where the story takes place. He also demonstrates a considerable amount of directorial skill, including his use of tracking shots and his crowd scenes. This outstanding DVD package includes some great features on this film and neorealism in general, plus the best booklet I've ever seen in a Criterion package. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/243923387-bicycle-thieves-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/243923387-bicycle-thieves-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
