IL BOOM is a hilarious,
one of a kind, bittersweet Italian comedy from groundbreaking director Vittorio
De Sica (Bicycle Thieves, Umberto D), set
during the Italian economic miracle which transformed the country in the span
of a decade, from the late 50s to the onset of the 70s.
Giovanni (ALBERTO
SORDI from The Best of Enemies) lives
far beyond his means to provide for his wife’s worldly needs (GIANNA MARIA
CANALE from I Vampiri). Nearly
insolvent and terribly worried at the idea of losing his wife, he thinks of
committing suicide when an ad gives him hope again: a rich man is offering a
life changing amount of money to anyone able to give him one of his eyes.
