Vittorio De Sica's "The Bicycle Thief" 'Ladri di biciclette' (1948)

This movie uses all natural lighting, maybe a reflector here and there to help light faces when outside. In some inside scenes it is different, they still use the avaliable lighting but this lighting is from ceiling lights or artifical lights that happen to be in the room. The interesting thing about this movie is there is hardly any large plant life anywhere in the whole film just large story buildings with either dirt or cobblestone roads between them. Also evidently there is no OHS as one actor climbs the rack where all the sheets are with out any apparent safety devices. What i liked about this movie was that there where tracking shots coupled with zooms and panning and tilting as well as the use of natural dapple shinning trough the trees. I did not mind the dubbing as it kind of added to the movie in some way so you are aware that its not in English and who really looks at the mouth moving instead of reading the subtitles. If the movie was in English then the bad dubbing would have become more apparent but since it wasn't it was ok to watch. lastly there was an interesting moment when they use rear projection to film the actors in the garbage truck as they interact with each other.
