    Editorial Reviews

    Acclaimed Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini drew on his own circus background for the 1954 classic La Strada. Set in a seedy travelling carnival, this symbolism-laden drama revolves around brutish strongman Zampano (Anthony Quinn), his simple and servile girlfriend Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina, Fellini's wife), and clown/aerialist Matto (Richard Basehart). Appalled at Zampano's insensitive treatment of Gelsomina, the gentle-natured Matto invites her to run off with him; but Gelsomina, like a faithful pet, refuses to leave the strong man's side. Eventually Zampano's volcanic temper erupts once too often, leading to tragic consequences. Written by Fellini and Tullio Pinelli and scored by Nino Rota, La Strada was the winner of the first official Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, awarded in 1956.

    June 16, 2004: Stark, brutal, sad, cruel, hopeless and depressing, and there isn't a thing you can do about it except watch this tragedy play out. Anthony Quinn cruelty seems almost too real. You become his victim, too.

    November 12, 2003: The bruttishness of Zampano in this film has impacted and haunted me for many years. Gelsomina's simple mindedness at times has shocked me because of her tragic end and how Zampano, at least I like to think so, suddenly realizes how he did love her and now has lost her and there is nothing he can do about it. The backdrop of Italy and the sense of the life struggle of poverty to simply survive is so touching the way it is portrayed in this film. Also, the sad main melody theme is one I've played on the piano many times over the years.
