From its premise, Mohsen Makhmalbaf's The Cyclist sounds like a film from the Italian Neo-Realist Tradition of Vittorio De Sica ala The Bicycle Thief. The protagonists in both films represent the under-privileged working class - victims of socio-economic disparity who must endure a daily struggle just to make ends meet.
