“Oh, Miracle in Milan. This is a wonderful film by De Sica. So inventive and beautiful. Yeah, I might slip that one in.”

Azazel Jacobs director

“Miracle in Milan, this is one of those movies that– My parents would always drive myself and my sister to films that they thought were films that they loved and also that could work for kids. There’s a moment at the end of this that I completely took as realistic at the time, but it kind of… defies gravity, and it blew my mind as a kid. And it was something I always held on to is thinking, “Films, if they feel real, will take you someplace completely unexpected.”...”
