| UMBERTO D. (1952) | |
|
|
De Sica made this film in memory of his father, however, it could be about any old man that enters retirement with a limited budget. This story revolves around Umberto, a retired city administrator, and his financial predicament. The few that care about Umberto are unfortunately unable to provide help, which forces Umberto to find temporary fixes to his monetary problem. These decisions affect him and his beloved dog, Flag, as they struggle together through this tragedy. In post-war Italy, De Sica creates this neo-realistic story that offers much food for thought as well as a brilliant cinematic experience that the audience will not forget. |
