During the 1958 World Fair in Brussels, a list of the 12 best films of all
times was created. Since then, the making of such lists is practiced by many
institutions, individuals and the media, but the original, Belgian list still
remains an important reference point. On behalf of Garage, Nikolai Izvolov will
present all 12 films, and discuss the reasons why these movies made such a
prestigious list. The third film presented is The Bicycle Thieves by Vittorio
de Sica. This classic example of early neo-realism received numerous awards
including an Oscar (1950) and a Golden Globe (1950). This great movie had a
huge impact on the progress of the world cinematography and is repeatedly
included in ‘best of’ lists. Nikolai Izvolov - film expert, head of department of History and Theory of
the Cinematic Art Research Institute.
