La Strada, GFT, 9 – 11 June, 2017
Winner of the first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1957, Federico Fellini’s heartbreaking tale of broken outsiders has lost none of its power to move audiences. Innocent young Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina) is sold by her poverty-stricken mother to brutish travelling strongman Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), to assist him as a street performer. Despite enduring terrible abuse from Zampanò, Gelsomina stays with him, seeking purpose for her life and, perhaps, some consolation in her art. Fellini creates enduring beauty from a truly tragic tale, and Masina’s face is an unforgettable icon of cinema. Digital Restoration
