Italian film. Made in 1948. Released in Japan in 1950 (Showa 25). A masterpiece of early neorealism, directed by Vittorio De Sica (1902-74) and written by Cesare Zavattini (1902-89). An unemployed worker (Lamberto Maggiorani) gets a job on the condition that he bring his own bicycle, but when it is stolen, he and his young son (Enzo Staiola) wander around the streets of Rome searching for it. Driven to the brink, the father steals someone else's bike, while the son can only stare. De Sica used non-professional actors, rejected set-based theories, and simply depicted the two of them wandering the ruined streets of Rome after World War II. The human emotions that naturally flow from the film are sophisticated and rich, gently expressing the human figure who is about to be swept away by the harshness of reality.

イタリア映画。1948年作品。50年(昭和25)日本公開。初期ネオレアリズモの代表作で、監督ビットリオ・デ・シーカVittorio De Sica(1902―74)、脚本チェーザレ・ザバッティーニCesare Zavattini(1902―89)。自転車持参という条件付きで就職した失業労働者(ランベルト・マッジョラーニ)が、自転車を盗まれ、幼い息子(エンツォ・スタイオーラ)と2人でローマの街を歩き回って自転車を捜す。追い詰められ、他人の自転車を盗んだ父を、息子はただ見つめるばかりであった。デ・シーカは、非職業俳優を使い、セット主義を排し、第二次世界大戦後の荒廃したローマの街をさまよい歩く2人の姿を、ただひたすら描いた。そこから自然に流露する人間的感情は精緻(せいち)かつ豊かであり、現実の過酷さに押し流されそうになる人間の姿をやさしく表現した。 [鳥山 拡] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
