THE CRITERION COLLECTION W\/ BOOKLET\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShot on location with a cast of nonprofessional actors, Vittorio De Sica's neorealist masterpiece follows Umberto D., an elderly pensioner, as he struggles to make ends meet during Italy's postwar economic boom. Alone except for his dog, Flike, Umberto strives to maintain his dignity while trying to survive in a city where traditional human kindness seems to have lost out to the forces of modernization. Umberto's simple quest to fulfill the most fundamental human needs—food, shelter, companionship—is one of the most heartbreaking stories ever filmed and an essential classic of world cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew high-definition digital transfer, made from restored elements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's Life: Vittorio De Sica, a 55-minute documentary made for Italian television in 2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew video interview with actress Maria Pia Casilio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew essay by critic Stuart Klawans and reprinted recollections on the film by De Sica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritings on Umberto D. by Umberto Eco, Luisa Alessandri, and Carlo Battisti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew and improved English subtitle translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal image quality: RSDL dual-layer edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003cbr\u003e1952 | 89 minutes | Black \u0026amp; White | Monaural | In Italian with optional English subtitles | 1.33:1 aspect ratio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51382355820822,"sku":"133183","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026621574750scan.jpg?v=1780440015","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/vittorio-de-sicas-umberto-d-the-criterion-collection-w-booklet","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
