incredibly moving and perfect work of art, this one from WWII Italy, directed by Vittorio De Sica.
A very young boy discovers his mother is having an affair when she leaves him and his father.
Yes, a story that has been told endless times before which is why the consummate skill of De Sica is so apparent: he takes what usually is melodramatic material and fashions a timeless classic.
With "Bicycle Thief,""Forbidden Games," and "400 Blows," this film palpably captures the fragile innocence of young children and the devastating pain they can feel.
