Description

Invited by an Aunt Marta he hasn't seen in thirty years, Richard Hamilton travels to his estranged relative's countryside home with his wife and two children in tow. On arrival the family finds not Marta but the property's caretaker, Thomas, who tells them she has been held up and will join them the following morning. When she again fails to appear the next day, a sense of creeping unease mounts — and as an unseen assailant sets about dispatching the family members in various gruesome ways, Aunt Marta's dreadful secret gradually begins to reveal itself.

Description

On the streets of postwar Rome, best friends Giuseppe and Pasquale earn tips shining the shoes of American soldiers, saving toward the horse they dream of owning. When the boys are unwittingly drawn into a robbery, they land in a grim juvenile detention center, where suspicion and pressure to inform steadily corrode their bond. Told from the children's point of view, De Sica's neorealist landmark turns their story into a portrait of poverty and lost innocence in postwar Italy.
