Cinema-Bicycle Thieves (1948)

After watching the film, organize your thoughts, observations and connections into a list.
You should have about 6-8 points.
Consider the Neorealist characteristics: shooting on location, natural lighting, long takes, establishing shots,
nonprofessional actors, lack of special effects and dramatic editing….as they apply to and are used in this film.
Mention specific examples from the film and connections to the text/lecture
Observations should be clear with thorough explanations. If you point out an element, explain its significance.
Begin to think about how these elements impact the film and the viewer. Connect these elements to the
textbook chapters and historical influence.
