" It's as devastating as Bicycle Thieves, and it's also every bit as great at being both beautiful and sad at the same time. I admit to sometimes having a difficult time with movies that are evidently dated, which is why, when it comes to something that was released in 1952, it's inevitable that I'm gonna prefer something as timeless as Umberto D, which treats the themes of hope(lessness) and economic strife in ways that are equally affecting to someone living in 2013, at least to me.
