[quote name='Brak']The Criterion Collection, a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films on DVD.
I hate that the Criterion version of Ladri di biciclette is titled The Bicycle Thieves, where as the Image Entertainment DVD is titled The Bicycle Thief, which is the title I prefer. Using the plural of "thief", in the title, ruins the film a li'l.
Image Entertainment has some nice DVDs, too. I have three, I think.
- My Name is Nobody
- La Dolce Vita
- The Bicycle Thief
Good pictures.
(Image Entertainment owns Criterion, I think.)[/quote]Fail.
The Italian means, and De Sica meant, for it to be called Bicycle Thieves.
As a plural, it's not definite, and shows that in all of us, is the possibility of becoming a "bicycle thief" given circumstance.
