	Movies - The Icicle Thief

The Icicle Thief (Italian: Ladri di saponette) is a 1990 film by Italian director Maurizio Nichetti, created as a spoof of the Italian neorealism that predominated Italian cinema after World War II.

The film tells the story of a director who is drawn into television while watching one of his films. Like the television version, the action is cut at 11-minute intervals by commercials. Gradually, the cast begins incorporating the commercials into their own lines, entirely changing the original concept of the film.

The film was named after the classic Italian neo-realist epic, The Bicycle Thief (Ladri di biciclette), by Vittorio De Sica.
