“So my, knowledge of the history of film is actually really, really, really limited. I'll admit to the fact that I get intimidated by other filmmakers' and other actors', and writers' knowledge, encyclopedic knowledge of, of, films. But I had seen this film, The Bicycle Thief, many years ago and I loved it, and it really kind of, moved me. And then recently I became a father, and I watched this film again. And I think it was specifically because now I am a father, this film destroyed me. And I really recommend if people are looking for something interesting that is perhaps, from, another time and another place, this film is, a slow burn, but it's extraordinary. And the little boy in it is one of the greatest child performances of all time. You want to just, you just want to know him. Definitely going in the bag.”
