Not the one with cannibals

La Strada (1954)

Directed by Federico Fellini this film stars Anthony Quinn, Giulietta Masina and Richard Basehart. A young woman is sold by her mother to be an assistant for a travelling strongman.

The plot of this film is a fairly simple but well told story of redemption. While the film may not be as fantastical as some of Fellini's other films it is filled with charm and the story has a great level of emotion to it. Clearly the best thing about this film is Giulietta Masina's excellent performance, she was perfectly cast in the role but the dubbing of Anthony Quinn is slightly off putting.


4/5
