The Icicle Theif also stars Nichetti in the lead. The film acts as a humorous critiqueon how the aesthetics of television(i.e commercials, etc.) clash with th aesthetics of the cinema. THe director, Nichetti, is showing his new film, in the tradition of Bicycle theives, the Icicle Theif. Not only is the neo-realist part of the film well done, but the convergence of the two worlds, television and cinematic is really funny. JN
