Drunken Angel (1948)

  • Criterion Collection, Kurosawa, Akira
  • 1948, Akira Kurosawa, Japan
  • Leave a comment

A fiery doctor and an ill gangster form a love-hate bond in Kurosawa’s striking first collab with Toshiro Mifune, a tale of changing times amid out-of-fashion masculine codes of honour.

Spring in a Small Town (1948)

Bicycle Thieves (1948)

  • Criterion Collection, De Sica, Vittorio
  • 1948, Italy, Vittorio De Sica
  • 4 Comments

Such is the profound impact and influence of De Sica’s postwar masterwork that it has arguably become a metonym for the Italian neorealist movement.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
