Winner of the first ever Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film (an award that Fellini would win four times in all), La Strada is the heartbreaking story of an intellectually-undeveloped, innocent young woman, Gelsomina, sold to circus strong man Zampano (Anthony Quinn) by her mother. He brings her into his act, but this brute of a man treats her badly, and a fellow circus performer (Richard Basehart) intercedes…
"Fellini’s La Strada tells a fable that is simple by his later standards, but contains many of the obsessive visual trademarks that he would return to again and again: the circus, and parades, and a figure suspended between earth and sky, and one woman who is a waif and another who is a carnal monster, and of course the seashore. Like a painter with a few favorite themes, Fellini would rework these images until the end of his life." Roger Ebert
