SHOESHINE opens with an exhilarating shot of a deliriously happy boy riding a horse. From here the director, the great Vittorio De Sica, crafts a devastating but deeply humanistic post-war story of the reality of poverty for so many Italian boys. Made in the…

When Roberto Rossellini was making his film Francesco, Giullare di Dio, he cast non-actors in every role (with the exception of Aldo Fabrizi as the invader Nicolaio). Francis and his followers were all played by Franciscan friars and novices, one of whom told Rossellini that he was a poet. “I asked him what kind of poetry he was doing,” said Rossellini in a 1971 Film Culture interview, quoted in Tag Gallagher’s definitive critical biography, The Adventures of Roberto Rossellini. “He…
