Fellini
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The film La Strada is generally considered the first full-fledged Fellini film, one that embodies many of Fellini’s trademark visual images: circuses, parades, suspension between earth and sky, and seashores. The film is fairly sad and touching, a story of a brutish man who buys an assistant for his act from her destitute mother. Zampano is not much brighter than Gelsomina, and he does not understand he actually loves her. Though she treats this one-trick brute well, he is cruel to her but she possesses a child-like innocence that appears to keep her immune from his abuse. The score adds immeasurably to a film that is already filled with emotion.
