    De Sica’s masterpiece of neo-realism focuses the camera on the bottom of society. After watching this video, I feel disgusted by what the adults did in the film.

"The camera is gone, the screen is gone, there's only life left." Orson...

Shoeshine quotes

  • Giuseppe Filippucci: Whoever invented the elevator is a genius.

    Pasquale Maggi: Tell me about it. I slept in one for three months.

  • Pasquale Maggi: [as the film projector is being set up in the boys' prison] In here they feed us, they shelter us, they give us clothes, and they even entertain us. What else could we want? This is paradise!
