I was really expecting a total cheese fest with this but this is one of the best zombie films I have seen for a few years. It tips a reverential hat to the genre but the films settings and at at times genuine menace makes it stand head and shoulders above most B movies of it's ilk. If you dig zombies then this is a must see. It is a Norwegian film though so those of you who abhor subtitles probably won't enjoy it.

Ladri di biciclette / the Bicycle Thieves (1948) Finally dun saw it. Depressed, social-realist moral of sorts (principally 'thanks alot, war' and 'don't nick stuff!') filmed in post-war Italy. The cast comprises entirely of non-professional actors. There is an oblique scene with what looked like German Jesuits or something talking to eachother over the Antonio and his son; and generally our protagonists spend the film struggling to keep their heads above water and maintain their morals in the face of widespread desperation caused by the unemployment. The scene in the church is also interesting. I really enjoy the simplicity of these sorts of late 40's international films, it gets right to the nitty gritty and reflects social issues of the time/location. So you are moved and you maybe even learn summat, genial! |
