The Children Are Watching Us

The Children Are Watching Us

★ 7.6/10•1943•1h 24m•NR•Drama

A pulsating drama of childhood.

In his first collaboration with renowned screenwriter and longtime partner Cesare Zavattini, Vittorio De Sica examines the cataclysmic consequences of adult folly on an innocent child. Heralding the pair’s subsequent work on some of the masterpieces of Italian neorealism, The Children Are Watching Us is a vivid, deeply humane portrait of a family’s disintegration.
