A little over the top, no characters you really get involved with, but kept my interest throughout.

Slow-paced movie dealing with social themes. It is reminiscent of de Sica's Ladri di Biciclette, in which the bicycle becomes a symbol of life strugle. Main protagonists of both movies are determined to find the stolen bicycle and keep their jobs so they could make a living. This strugle results in the ultimate test of protagonists strength of characters. Film is interesting but it is too slow at certain moments.
