Umberto D

About Umberto D

A heartbreaking film that follows an elderly man who, with his meagre pension, struggles greatly to survive in post-war Rome together with his little dog.

Martin Scorsese said about this film: ‘As powerful as The Bicycle Thief was, for me, De Sica and Zavattini’s greatest achievement together was Umberto D….a great movie about a hero of everyday life. That was De Sica’s precious gift to his father. And to us.’

Presented in a 4K restoration by the Cineteca Nazionale, in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna and the Associazione Vittorio De Sica.

Please note: English subtitles.
