The Icicle Thief

created by Sylvar

(thing) by Sylvar (1.2 wk) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Sat Jan 29 2000 at 20:13:48

A film homage to The Bicycle Thief, a classic story of poverty in Italy. This time, commercials intrude on the reality of the movie within a movie as it plays on television. The filmmaker ends up in his own movie and tells the little boy that he's supposed to be in an orphanage, not singing insipid jingles from the commercials.
