Screening of Italian film "Umberto D"

[Cinephile Film Club]

Greetings from the Cinephile Film Club! 

This Thursday, 8th May, at 6.30 pm, Sachin Chatte will host the screening of the Italian film Umberto D. (1952, 89 mins), directed by the legendary Vittorio De Sica. The film is a must-watch for those who love dogs, those who don't, and those who are indifferent to them. 

Umberto D. was De Sica's favourite film, even though he made other masterpieces like Bicycle Thieves (1948).  

This neorealist film features a non-professional actor who was a real-life professor in the lead role of Umberto, a pensioner facing hard times. His best friend is his dog, as the two face the complexities of life. Ingmar Bergman said, "Umberto D. is  a movie I have seen a hundred times, that I may love most of all"
