Quite glum these neo-realists. Marty shares whole great chunks of key Rossellinis, de Sicas etc, meaning you don't then actually have to watch Paisa, Europe 51, the delightful-looking The Flowers of St Francis, the depressing Umberto D... Nice to see a bit of Gold of Naples, not convinced it's a comedy classic. Reminded how good is the acting of father and son in Bicycle Thieves (why is it always translated into the singular?)
Four hour film needs to be split over two Sundays. No mention of who shot any of these classics.
