If Vittorio De Sica had directed only one movie, the 1948 drama “Bicycle Thieves,” his name would still be enshrined in the history of cinema. That film—screening Sept. 16-19 in Film Forum’s monthlong De Sica retrospective (Sept. 9-Oct. 8)—is perhaps the quintessential work of Italian neorealism, and it displays the movement’s glories as well as its limitations. It’s the story of Antonio Ricci (Lamberto Maggiorani), an unemployed man in Rome who is hired as a poster hanger, contingent on his owning a bicycle. Читать дальше...

At the Mott Haven Bar and Grill, at the end of Bruckner, you can sit at a marble bar top and watch competitive arm wrestling on a screen while listening to nineties dance hits. What’s good to drink? “Mott Haven and the Bronx,” says Javie, the hoop-eared master of ceremonies, naming two beers on tap. Читать дальше...

At about the same time that Steve Reich and Philip Glass were laying the foundation for American minimalism by studying African and Asian music, the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt was delving into the mysteries of medieval European music and coming up with something equally fresh. The results of that inquiry—works of profound melancholy, yet teeming with life—have enthralled the world.
