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.
