In my continuing effort to expose myself and the group to films we have not yet seen by great directors, I decided to pick "La Strada" by Fellini this week. I am most likely going to pick Jean Renoir's film "Grand Illusion" next so you may want to hold off on watching it until then. Here is the Netflix synopsis:
Italian auteur Federico Fellini helmed this powerful rumination on love and hate, the Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Film in 1956. This restored version (introduced by Martin Scorsese) tells the story of gentle Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina), sold by her mother to the bullying circus performer, Zampanò, with whom she falls in love. When a clown, Il Matto (Richard Basehart), wins her heart, a doomed love triangle inevitably develops.
