Description

Umberto D(Blu-ray)Directed by: Vittorio De SicaStarring: Carlo Battisti, Maria Pia Casilio, Lina Gennari, Alberto Albani BarbieriContributors: Nino Misiano, Cesare Zavattini, Aldo Graziati, Alessandro CicogniniDescriptionOne of the most revered masterpieces of Italian Neo-Realism, Umberto D (1952) is a poignant and deeply humanistic portrait of an elderly man struggling to retain his dignity in post-war Italy. Directed by Vittorio De Sica, the film follows Umberto Domenico Ferrari (Carlo Battisti), a retired civil servant who has been abandoned by society and left to survive on his meager pension. With only his loyal dog, Flike, for companionship, Umberto faces eviction and overwhelming despair. But even in his darkest moments, he finds a reason to carry on. Banned in Italy for years due to its subversive critique of the country’s treatment of its elderly, Umberto D remains a powerful cinematic achievement. This Criterion Collection release presents a beautifully restored edition of De Sica’s heartrending classic.Key FeaturesFormat: Blu-rayStudio: Criterion CollectionCatalogue No: CC2176BDUKBarcode: 5050629825435Main Language: ItalianSubtitles: EnglishRegion: BRelease Date: 15 Aug 2022Originally Issued: 1952No of Discs: 1Weight: 106gDimensions: 136 x 18 x 173 mmGenre: World CinemaBBFC Certification: (PG) Parental GuidanceRental/Retail: Retail not for RentalRun Time: 89 minutesSpecial FeaturesInteractive MenusBonus FootageTrailersInterviews: 2003 interview with Maria Pia CasilioOther Documentary: ‘That’s Life: Vittorio De Sica’ (2001)FeatureDetailsDirectorVittorio De SicaStarringCarlo Battisti, Maria Pia Casilio, Lina Gennari, Alberto Albani BarbieriContributorsNino Misiano, Cesare Zavattini, Aldo Graziati, Alessandro CicogniniFormatBlu-rayStudioCriterion CollectionCatalogue NoCC2176BDUKBarcode5050629825435Main LanguageItalianSubtitlesEnglishRegionBRelease Date15 Aug 2022Originally Issued1952No of Discs1Weight106gDimensions136 x 18 x 173 mmGenreWorld CinemaBBFC Certification(PG) Parental GuidanceRental/RetailRetail not for RentalRun Time89 minutesSpecial FeaturesInteractive Menus, Bonus Footage, Trailers, Interview with Maria Pia Casilio (2003), Documentary: ‘That’s Life: Vittorio De Sica’ (2001)
