Film Screening: Federico Fellini's La Strada

La Strada (The Road) is a 1954 Italian drama film directed and co-written by Federico Fellini with Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Flaiano. The film tells the story of Gelsomina, a simple-minded young woman (Giulietta Masina) bought from her mother by Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), a brutish strongman who takes her with him on the road. Fellini described La Strada as "a complete catalog of my entire mythological world, a dangerous representation of my identity that was undertaken with no precedent.

La Strada has become "one of the most influential films ever made," according to the American Film Institute. It won the inaugural Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1957. It was placed fourth in the 1992 British Film Institute directors' list of cinema's top 10 films.
