Every movie made since Bicycle Thieves failed to do 75+% of what Bicycle Thieves accomplishes with basically nothing. It's about a guy who has nothing and it seems like it was made by people with nothing but incredible, unyielding artistic spirit. It's not even 90 minutes long. Italian.

I think that and The Thousand Blows are probably the two best European "oh life is horrible after the war" movies but it is very pretentious to try to do anything like that now

It's like someone gave a $40,000 camera to a homeless person and told him to make a movie about anything he wants.

It's almost like these Italians were too busy making fine art to write explainer notes for dipshit Americans

Seventh Seal is best movie ever made, it’s been downhill since then
