La Strada
By Federico Fellini 1954 115 mins Comedy TBA
25 Oct 7.30pm Free Admission
Gelsomina, a carefree girl is sold by her very poor mother to Zampano, a travelling entertainer. She follows him on the road ("la strada") and helps him during his shows. Zampano ill treats her. She meets "The Fool" a tight rope walker. She feels like going with him, but he puts confusion in her mind by pointing out that perhaps Zampano is in love with her.
This Fellini's film is one of the most important films of post-war Italian cinema. It won eight awards and among these the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film (1956) and the Silver Lion at Venice Film Festival (1954).
