Podcasts about Bicycle Thieves

In this documentary, Neil looks at the emergence of location sound recording for cinema and one of the significant technological developments that enabled this.  Starting with the Italian neorealism movement of the late 1940's, the desire for dialogue authenticity gained hold in 1950's Hollywood films. This and the artistic truth of French New Wave filmmaking in the 1960's led to the indispensability of the location sound recordist by the 1970's and one of their important needs was met by the invention and refinement of the now-familiar microphone basket windshield. To help tell the story, Neil plays real-world examples of Outside Broadcast sport; excerpts from classic movies and amateur YouTube filmmakers and also talks with Radius Windshields Managing Director Simon Davies as well as the owner and MD of plastic injection moulding company Elbmar Limited, Keven Rich and the Oscar-winning feature film Production Sound Mixer - and enthusiastic Radius Windshields user - Simon Hayes.  About the presenters: You can find more about Simon Hayes' work here The Radius Windshield site is here Details about Neil Hillman and Jason Nicholas's work as dialogue editors and mixers and how to contact them is here Details of our 1-to-1, training and coaching programmes for ambitious media professionals are available at: https://www.drneilhillman.com and https://soundproducer.com.au/coaching and www.soundformovingpictures.com Technical notes: Written, produced and presented by Dr. Neil Hillman – IMDb Programme edited and mixed by Dr. Neil Hillman on DaVinci Resolve v20.

Welcome to another Trilogies episode where Anders & Adam Holmes move (briefly) away from a Galaxy, Far, Far, Away to war torn Italy. This episode we look at Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy. Roberto Rossellini (father of Isabella Rossellini, plus ex-father in law to Martin Scorsese) was one of the most prominent directors of Italian Neo-Realist Cinema. A film movement where its stories focused mainly on the poor and working class. Films about everyday life, poverty and oppression. Films shot on location and used primarily non-classically trained actors. Actors basically picked off the street essentially. The Bicycle Thieves is a perfect example of Italian Neo-Realism. The movement influenced French New Wave for example. Along with Rossellini, other Italian filmmakers like Vittorio De Sica and Luchino Visconti popularised this very influential film movement. Rossellini's Neo-Realist War Trilogy started with Rome, Open City (1945), Paisan (1946) and concluded with Germany Year Zero (1948). Some of the first post-war films made in Italy and films that helped shape Italian Neo-Realism. Rome, Open City has a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is part of the Vatican's Important Films list. It's listed under the category Values. We hope you like this episode and stay tuned for more Trilogies episode. We will be putting a pause on our Trilogies series and moving onto another series of episodes we have in the works: Fascism On Film. The first episode of that series will be on Andor & Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Stay tuned for that and for more episodes of The Movies And Me.

Our Farrow v Allen series continues with four more collaborations: September (1987), Another Woman (1988), Oedipus Wrecks (1989, part of the anthology movie New York Stories), and Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989). We count the ways in which Allen mashes up his favourite playwrights, filmmakers, and Russian novelists, trace the development of Allen's "survivor" theme through these movies, and discuss the different flavours of invisible that Farrow brings to them. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, Charles Burnett, in town to present De Sica's Bicycle Thieves and a 4K restoration of his own Killer of Sheep, tells us about the cost of art and the time someone stole his bicycle.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s: SEPTEMBER (1987) [dir.

Nosferatu (1922), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) In episode 78, we started our ongoing Twice Told Tales segment, featuring the first two versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. In this episode, with the recent release of Robert Eggers long awaited version of Nosferatu, we're going back to the original, one of cinema's first true monsters, in F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu, then following it up with Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre. As in our first Twice Told Tales episode, this isn't a comparison as to which one is better, but an opportunity to dig deep into each film, discussing why we think the impact it has made is still felt today, for both versions. We'll point out the differences, the similarities, as well as some other behind-the-scenes on the films and filmmakers as well.  There is a reason the original film, one that was supposed to be completely destroyed, still lives on, almost like the undead title character. There is a reason you'll see a photo from Nosferatu in almost every book on the horror film genre. And some might think for Herzog to dare make his own versoin of this iconic classic was utter nonsense. Until you see the film. Join us on a little journey back over a century into the past, to the very beginning of horror cinema, and an incredible new take on this tale.

Felicia is joined by Ryan Ritter to discuss the film that cemented the genre of Italian neo-realism in history; Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves (1948). We chat about De Sica's ability to discover raw talent from non-actors and guide them to deliver unforgettable performances. Along with how relatable this story has been to audiences over the years. This is the final installment in the De Sica series and it brought great warmth to my heart to revisit and discuss these films. I hope my guests and I have inspired you to seek out his later work as well.

There's a plethora of "eat the rich" films these days, films that relish in showing the wealthy suffer without, god forbid, rocking the status quo. My guest today is Tosha R. Taylor is quite skeptical of the trend. Tosha R. Taylor is a writer, former academic, and regularly publishes and presents on horror, extremity, and queerness. We talk about the history of class in cinema, the invisibility of class issues in the majority of films, hillbilly horror, and Tosha picks some of her favorite class-conscious horror films.

Mario Monicelli's The Organizer's title, like De Sica's Bicycle Thieves 15 years before it, had its title senselessly singularized for English release. The original title I compagni means "The Comrades" and is a bit more indicative of the ensemble organizing that is going on here. The story of a late 19th century textile mill strike, The Organizer is a warts and all look at workers exercising their power and capital bringing everything it has to crush them, from "haven't I always been good to you" manipulation to bullets. The Organizer is the final film released by the Criterion Collection before we first started recording Lost in Criterion in April 2012, and with that milestone I wrote a short reflection on what the podcast has become, available free at our patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/milestone-and-110655785

Sara and Jeff foray into the world of Italian neorealism with Bicycle Thieves.  This film is considered a landmark in cinema history.  Will they agree?*Spoilers Ahead* Bicycle Thieves (1948) - IMDb Life and culture in Italy between 1945-1950 - Life in Italy Munch Addict | Exotic International Snacks, Subscription Box & Gifts Theme Music:  Happy Way to Start the Day By Pressmaster – license purchased on AudioJungle  

“Bicycle Thieves” also known as “Bicycle Thief” 1948 is an Italian drama that presents a Rome family struggling with unemployment, poverty, and the aftermath of World War II. Director Vittorio De Sica captures this subsistence life with exceptional use of black and white cinematography, melancholy music, on location street scenes, untrained actors, and devastating events. The movie won an Academy Award (Special Award) as did Mr. De Sica's 1946 film “Shoeshine”.Lamberto Maggiorani plays Antonio Ricci who is hired to hang outdoor wall posters in an assigned area, and he must have a bicycle for the work. Antonio's supportive and strong-willed wife Maria is played by Lianella Carell. Enzo Staiola is masterful as Bruno, Antonio's 8-year-old son. The large supportive cast enhances this drama of everyday life. This film is unforgettable.

EPISODE #411-- We return to the 80's to celebrate a life and to commemorate Black History Month (sorry for the delay) with the pulpy actioner ACTION JACKSON (1988) from Craig R. Baxley.

We also talk about RAN (1985) from Akira Kurosawa, as well as Kelly Reichardt's FIRST COW (2019), Vittorio di Sica's THE BICYCLE THIEVES (1948), and Paul Thomas Anderson's HARD EIGHT (1997).

Then, Phil talks about what is going on his beloved Siren Radio in the UK. A petition has been launched to try and save the station to which Phil has been contributing for more than 12 years (read and, if so moved, sign the petition at https://www.change.org/p/support-our-siren-saving-siren-radio-lincoln-s-first-community-radio-station). This leads to a discussion of curated experiences and supposedly outmoded media. From there, the conversation switches to the impact of Bicycle Thieves on the big screen and that classic's influence on Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. The surprising good news of a just-released global box office smash hit gets cheered. Of course, "awards season" is reaching its climax, and Dean and Phil analyze what we can know will happen at the Oscars based on this weekend's SAG Awards. The multi-award-winning miniseries “Beef”, its writing and its stars get hailed. Phil also shares a great story about Annette Bening and both her present, and one of her past, Oscar nominations. All that plus Phil regales with tales of the Autry Museum of the American West in the wake of emceeing a major event there. Finally, the lives of three fascinating music figures get remembered in "Celebrity Deaths".

Original Air Date: Monday 19 February, 9 pm Eastern Description: This week's show will pick up right where last week's Season 4 Episode 6 left off, with a pre-recorded segment wherein Dean Haglund reveals his top two films of 2023, and Phil Leirness reveals his number one choice. Then, Dean and Phil hook up live on digital audio to discuss a wide array of topics, including: the choreography of Pina Bausch, the German nominee for the Best International Film Oscar, the Mardi Gras jazz of Delfeayo Marsalis (and a real-life backstage mystery!), the Houdini Estate in Hollywood, "Bicycle Thieves", the French classic "Diva", and why February 10 was a terrible day for breakfast!

The Text: This week's text is Almost Paradigm, spanning from pages 380 – 384. Synopsis: Hammond is uncomfortable with Malcolm's sepsis, and leaves for a walk believing that the park is under control now, and is safe. On his walk back to his bungalow, he stews over how unfit everyone he'd hired to work at Jurassic Park had been, blaming them all for its downfall – and taking no responsibility of his own. Then he hears the roar of the juvenile tyrannosaurus, and panics. Out of fear and anger, he winds up falling down a ravine, landing in a river below, with a broken ankle. It turns out the tyrannosaur roar is just a recording being broadcast over loud speakers, as Tim and Lex are playing around on the computer in the control room, and there was no danger after all.  Discussions surround: Dramatic Irony, Responsibility and Safety, Considering whether or not you should, and Almost Paradise v. Almost Paradigm. Corrections: I said that Nedry didn't turn off the fences in the movie - when, of course he did. Arnold also turns off the power, but Nedry did it first. My mistake.

In this episode of "Theater Cleaners," Todd and Dom discuss the 1948 Italian neorealist film "Bicycle Thieves," directed by Vittorio De Sica.The film follows Antonio Ricci, an unemployed man in post-World War II Rome, who finally lands a job that requires a bicycle. When his bicycle is stolen on his first day of work, he and his young son Bruno set out on a desperate search through the streets of Rome to recover it.Todd and Dom analyze the film's use of non-professional actors, realistic settings, and natural lighting, all hallmarks of the Italian neorealist movement. They discuss how the film reflects the economic hardships and social inequalities of post-war Italy, and how it portrays the relationship between a father and son.They also examine the film's visual language and how it conveys meaning through small details and gestures, as well as the film's use of sound to create an immersive and emotionally resonant experience.Join Todd and Dom as they reflect on the legacy of "Bicycle Thieves" and explore why it remains a timeless masterpiece of world cinema, still relevant and impactful more than 70 years after its release.

In this episode of What a Picture, Bryan and Hannah eat mozzarella sandwiches and discuss Bicycle Thieves, the 1948 movie directed by Vittorio De Sica that ranks #41 on Sight and Sound's 2022 Greatest Films of All Time Critics' Poll. Music is "Phaser" by Static in Verona.

To start this week, we discuss Aline Brosh McKenna's directorial debut, YOUR PLACE OR MINE (2:13). This Netflix rom-com, which divides us, stars Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher as long-distance best friends who figure out their romantic feelings for each other while she stays in his apartment in NYC for grad school and he takes care of her son back in LA. Next, we review Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's SCREAM VI (30:40), the latest installment in the SCREAM franchise. We're also divided about this movie, but we can all agree that setting it in the Big Apple was a smart move. And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Vittorio De Sica's Italian neo-realist drama BICYCLE THIEVES in honor of its 75th anniversary this year! 

About six months ago, I did a pod on Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese's 1990 magnum opus on the wise guys of New York, which to me was sweeping, magnetic and a triumph. And as I said then, it's a young man's film --- it had all the adrenaline, obstinance, the hubris, and the self-belief that young men often possess. A lot of water under that bridge since 1990, with Scorsese directing a slew of incredible films to follow: the remake of Cape Fear, a huge change of pace in The Age Of Innocence, back to wise guys with Casino, Gangs Of New York for a take on the Protestant-Catholic and Nativist battles of the 1860s, The Aviator, a terrific film on Howard Hughes that didn't get its due, then winning the Best Director Oscar in 2006 for The Departed. You've heard me rant about that late, late recognition before, so I'll let it lie. Then through the latter part of the 2010s with amazing films like Hugo, The Wolf Of Wall Street and Silence. Where am I going with this laundry list? Here, you have the protagonist, but where's the antagonist, huh? Where's the drama?  Like De Sica and his Italian Neorealism series of Shoeshine, Bicycle Thieves, and Umberto D, tracing the ages of man in post-WWII Rome, you can conveniently stick a square peg in a square hole and assert that Scorsese is following a similar arc with his gang and wise guy films. Early work with young, promising actors in Mean Streets, followed by the crazy adults of Goodfellas, middle-aged and calculating in Casino. And what's at the end of the arc? The wise guys in old age, looking back. What we find is the film, The Irishman. email: David@thosewonderfulpeople.comWebsite and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

For me, there are some films that are so emotional and fraught that I have a difficult time watching them. Some examples from my life are A River Runs Through It, Kurosawa's Ikiru, which I'm going to do a pod on in the future, Scorsese's Raging Bull, and one of the greatest examples of Italian Neo-realism, Bicycle Thieves. Until reviewing Thieves for the pod, I hadn't been able to watch it for two decades. It certainly affected me as a young man, when I first saw it, but viewings after that were as a husband and father. The knowledge of and responsibilities of those roles made Thieves almost unendurable. It's that indelible.email: David@thosewonderfulpeople.comWebsite and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

The Tree of Wooden Clogs, by Catholic director Ermanno Olmi, depicts a year in the life of four peasant families living on a tenant farmhouse in late 19th century Lombardy. The actors are non-professionals, real local peasants speaking their Bergamasque dialect, recreating their normal life on camera (even if in the trappings of a century earlier). The result is a stunning vision of a now-bygone culture that grew out of close contact with the land. Though the film is not nostalgic in longing for the good old days, Olmi (himself a son of Lombard peasants) did say, “I firmly believe that peasant culture in the world is, at this moment in the history of humanity, the only ‘culture' worthy of that name.” This film can be seen as a culmination of the neo-realist movement that had developed decades earlier with films like Bicycle Thieves and Rome, Open City; but Tree of Wooden Clogs is more neo-realist than the neo-realists, with an almost documentary quality and a purer commitment to depicting a way of life rather than a plot. Olmi was not part of the elite, Marxist-dominated establishment of Italian cinema, and Wooden Clogs drew heavy criticism for depicting peasants who did not revolt against their economic situation. In fact, though the film does not shy away from showing that the peasants' relation with their landlord is marked by injustice, it also shows them quite indifferent to the revolutionary goings-on we glimpse at the margins of this film. Olmi instead wanted to “tell history outside the official channels”, and find wisdom in a less "clamorous" history, by listening to the “whisper of the generations”. This "whisper of the generations" very much includes the simple Catholic faith of the peasants. The great beauty amidst hardship is depicted in a most unassuming way, with Olmi allowing reality to unfold itself through contemplation rather than imposing a stylized structure on the film. He described his approach to filmmaking thus: "There is something in reality that is stronger than you. So what are the terms of the conflict? Am I the one who must tame reality? But it's so good to be tamed by reality. Because it's always surprising. This also happens with love." The Tree of Wooden Clogs was included in the Vatican's 1995 list of important films under the category of Values. A little later, Ermanno Olmi and his film school were given a papal medal by St. John Paul II. In discussing this film, James and Thomas are joined by film scholar Maria Elena de las Carreras and filmmaker/critic Nathan Douglas.

Get your hands off my bicycle! This week we're comparing two movies about bicycle theft and so much more. Representing the arthouse, it's the 1948 Italian Neorealist classic Bicycle Thieves directed by Vittorio de Sica. And representing the mainstream, it's Tim Burton's 1985 feature film debut Pee-Wee's Big Adventure starring Paul Ruebens. Which one will enter the canon? And which one will be tossed in the trash canon? Listen to find out! Plus we play a round of the fun new movie game Theft or Homage!

Bicycle Thieves, the most beloved classic of Italian neo-realist cinema, would be too easily explained as depicting the crushing pressures of poverty and societal dysfunction in Rome immediately following World War II. But the film transcends any sociological analysis: it has something spiritual to say about how those in poverty can respond to their situation. James Majewski argues that the film is about trust or the lack thereof. It shows how quickly things get worse when we act as though we are in control of our circumstances. The film also defies any suspicion that something with the name “neo-realism”, which uses real locations and non-professional actors in order to better document social realities, will necessarily be drab, materialist and undramatic. Screenwriter Cesare Zavattini's neo-realist slogan, “Life as it is”, is clarified by director Vittorio de Sica's explanation of why he decided to make a film about the theft of a bicycle: “Uncovering the drama in everyday life, the wonderful in the daily news.” Bicycle Thieves is included on the Vatican's 1995 list of important films, in the category of Values.
