Elisabetta Ferrari, Lecturer in Italian Studies at the University of Melbourne comes in to explore the life and work of Italian film director and actor Vittorio De Sica. They discuss mid-twentieth century Italian neorealism and De Sica's films, including Ladri di Bicyclette (BICYCLE THIEVES), which is hailed as one of the greatest movies ever made. An upcoming retrospective of De Sica's work is showing at the Melbourne Cinémathèque.
