launched them both to international stardom. Gelsomina is
sold by her mother into the employ of Zampan?w (Anthony Quinn), a brutal
strongman in a traveling circus. When Zampan?w encounters an old rival
in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart), his fury is provoked to
its breaking point. With La Strada, Fellini left behind the familiar signposts
of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty, evoking brilliant
performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.
The Criterion Collection is proud to present La Strada, winner of the Academy
AwardR for Best Foreign Film in 1956. |
