Fandango Takes Sales on Venice and Toronto Title ‘Anywhere Anytime’ With a ‘Bicycle Thieves’ Vibe – Watch Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
Italy's Fandango has taken sales on Venice and Toronto drama 'Anywhere Anytime' which has a contemporary 'Bicycle Thieves' vibe.
The film riffs off Vittorio De Sica’s neorealist classic “Bicycle Thieves,” albeit in a contemporary setting, telling the tale of Issa, a young Senegalese illegal immigrant living in Turin who – after being fired by an employer for fear of being fined by the police – starts working as a food-delivery rider, a gig that gives him a sense of security and freedom until his bike gets stolen. Tangshir, who has born in 1983 in Tehran, released three albums with the Iranian rock bandAhoora, before moving to Italy in 2011. In his directors’ statement Tangshir said “Anywhere Anytime” “explores the sense of fear and constant anxiety of those who, like the protagonist of the film, live on the margins, in the cracks of society: an invisible life, one of the many we cross paths with every day on a sidewalk or a street corner.”
