Federico Fellini is without question an icon of world cinema, winning more "Best Foreign Film" Oscars than any director while being ranked by THE CINEMA ARCHIVES as the #5 filmmaker of all time.Join us for a Deep Dive into LA STRADA (1954) on its 70th Anniversary year! Intro and Q&A discussion with Film Professor Joe Horine.
LA STRADA (THE ROAD) scores a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, the Critics Consensus: "Giulietta Masina and Anthony Quinn's pitiable pair of outsiders provide a poignant contrast between gentleness and might in Federico Fellini's unforgettable parable."
This bittersweet study of characters on "the road" holds the remarkable distinction of being the first recipient of the "Best Foreign Language Film" Academy Award, and forever planted Fellini on the radar screen of film lovers. Starring Fellini's wife Giuletta Masina and the magnificent Anthony Quinn as circus "strong man" Zampano, LA STRADA was called by AFI "one of the most influential films ever made" and has become (along with BICYCLE THIEVES) perhaps the iconic example of Italian Neorealism.
Synopsis: A care-free girl is sold to a traveling entertainer, consequently enduring physical and emotional pain along the way.
