Great choice but the title is The Bicycle Thief.

On a related topic, Maurizio Nichetti's "The Icicle Thief" which is basically a parody of this kind of Italian 'art film' is great. A VHS rip is on YouTube, but like so many other great films, it's been sort of forgotten and has no DVD release I am aware of.

We need a "most undeserved 'best movies' list" week.
My pick is Some Like it Hot, constantly topping the funniest movies of all time lists by people over 65.

This really is "one of the best films" ever. I don't know why; there's not much to the story, and everything about it is fairly simple & straightforward. There's nothing obviously special about the cinematography. The actors (who aren't actually actors; they're normal people) give solid but non-flashy performances, just... everything about this movie is "solid" without being "amazing".
And yet, the movie as a whole is one of of the most moving 2 hours I've ever seen. If you've never seen it, you really should go rent it & see it for yourself.

Mr. Purple Cat Esq. - 2016-11-25 Perhaps its this...
The elements themselves (acting, cinematography etc.) are not *flashy* precisely because they are all working in service of the film as a whole. They dont draw particular attention to themselves so they dont take away from your general immersion. The film is so immersive and seamless that it enables you to become highly involved in this simple story about a man, his son and his bicycle.
