Thursday, May 7 at 1:30pm - Film Discussion on Zoom:

Join our online discussion of the 1948 Italian film "Bicycle Thieves."

In poverty-stricken postwar Rome, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle, which he needs for work, is stolen. With his young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight, Bicycle Thieves embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity, social rectitude, and brutal honesty. (Italian, 89 minutes)

LAPL cardholders can stream the film on Kanopy.
