Bicycle Thieves (Vittorio De Sica)
Hailed around the world as one of the greatest movies ever made, the Academy Award–winning Bicycle Thieves, directed by Vittorio De Sica, defined an era in cinema. In poverty-stricken postwar Rome, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle, which he needs for work, is stolen. With his young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief.

With My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done I should have drawn further conclusions on the secret bond shared between Werner Herzog and David Lynch. The two both share a vision of the human race as a strange and fascinating alien species, one begging for exploration, interest and sympathy, with Herzog attuned to the character and the locations of the species and Lynch interested in its iconography and psyche. If Lynch chose to make documentaries, and in a way I'm surprised he hasn't, he might have been similarly drawn to Herzog's Into the Abyss, a moss-colored geometry of small-town Texas (specifically, Conroe) where all humans are instigators of or touched by violent tragedy.
