DeSica’s first true mark on the world of neo-realism is a small ruby of its time and place
Sciuscia, or Shoeshine, tells a tragedy involving two boys, Pasquale and Giuseppe, both of whom try and make money from shining shoes, and also in dealing with black market goods. They hope to buy a horse one day (a wonderful opening shot of a horse running fast gets this point across since this is at its core a film of adolescence), but complications involving Giuseppe’s older brother and gang land the two boys in jail just as they have enough for the horse. The film then deals with the boys in the reformatory/prison, over-crowded with conniving, shady influences as cell-mates, as well as the people who run the prison. To tell anymore of the plot would ruin it for the viewer who would go out of his way to find this – it’s near impossible to find, which is a shame since The Bicycle Thief and Umberto D. are readily available in most stores and rentals – and it’s enough to say that much of the film relies more on character than story. Because the director’s dealing with a group of near total unknowns, they come first.

This film, by Vittorio De Sica, was made very soon after the War had decimated the country he lived in. He didn’t just want to make this movie, he had to- these characters are as real as their backdrop, a country still in the aftermath of a fascist state of affairs, and since the film deals with children there’s all the more emotion to it. The only, very minor liability in the film is that the drama in the material isn’t as simple and everyday as DeSica’s later, more famous efforts; if it was under different direction it could’ve become a forgettable tearjerker. But the tragedies of these characters, Pasquale and Giuseppe, is splendid in the humanity that they feel, as it unfolds, and by the end it rings as true as any other given neo-realist effort of the late 40’s and early 50’s. Shoeshine is one of those rarities that may give a tear-jerker to someone who isn’t expecting one, and I mean that as a compliment. Note, if you find this tape, it may be rather grainy and slightly shifty in frame, and the subtitles aren’t complete- not to downplay the worth of the film in and of itself, however.

Well-made but harsh, tragic and depressing. Not an “easy” movie.
This is one of Vittorio De Sica’s early works but probably his breakthrough. Well, maybe not really his breakthrough (that was the more famous ‘Ladri di biciclette’) but at least his first major work. The name of Vittorio De Sica is almost automatically associated with ‘Ladri di biciclette’, which is almost inevitable, considering its fame and reputation. ‘Sciuscià (Ragazzi)’ doesn’t seem to be as well-known. That is probably the reason why I never heard of it so far.

It’s a well-told movie, well-directed, well-made, ta ta ta… but so depressing that it’s hard to watch. On that sense, it’s a lot like ‘Ladri di biciclette’. It’s one of those movies that take time to grow on us, but once it does it’s a good movie.

‘Sciuscià (Ragazzi)’ is the tragic story of two friends (Pasquale Maggi and Giuseppe Filippucci) who shine shoes for a living. They share a common dream: to save enough money in order to get themselves one horse. The two shoeshine boys see themselves in trouble with the police after trying to find the money to buy a horse. One day it seems that their dream will finally come true, but in reality their nightmare has only just begun. They are framed and find themselves in a trap before they can even understand what’s going on. Soon they end up in jail for a crime they didn’t commit.

When they go to their hell (that is, prison), although separated, they try to remain friends… but the time spent in prison and the environment there destroys them. Destiny has in store a tragedy that concerns both of them, which is how the movie ends…

The boys act superbly: Franco Interlenghi as Pasquale and Rinaldo Smordoni as Giuseppe.
