“It is filled, in every scene, with an awareness of the pitiful complexity of the causes of even simple evil.”
—Time Magazine
“A harrowing exposé of ‘fascism’s bequest to the children of Italy.’”
—The New York Times
“A keystone in a historic cinematic movement.”
—Slant
A heartbreakingly beautiful examination of the harsh reality of post-war Italy and an underrated classic from master Vittorio De Sica. Two young boys do everything they can to purchase a horse together, but the price is more than they bargained for. Now restored to be witnessed by a new generation.
