Umberto D. (1952)
The Beauty of Sadness
4 October 2004
A sad but at the same time, touching and meaningful, movie like few I have seen, I came across this gem in the cable today. But instead other movies which use all kind of possible gestures to invoke the tears of the public, this movie is a real show of humanity like I've hardly seen before.

Geez, 50 years after, this movie has not dated in its subject of loneliness and aging. In the age of selfishness, a simple display of profound human feelings like this is completely necessary.

Would hope everyone was ready to appreciate this magnificent piece of Human Art. Thanks, Vittorio.
