Nights of Cabiria
Dir: Federico Fellini
Italy, 1957, 118 minmins, DCP
Cast: Giulietta Masina, François Périer, Franca Marzi
Giulietta Masina is Cabiria, at times a waiflike prostitute who takes pride in owning a humble house by the sea, at times a tough cookie getting into fights and hiding to avoid police raids. A sinner seeking redemption from the Virgin Mary, and simultaneously a saint unyieldingly searching for true love. Betrayed time and again, Cabiria’s face retains its indomitable resolve, carrying her proudly through the gutters of Rome. Masina’s Chaplinesque innocence and comic invention deservedly won her Best Actress at Cannes, and Fellini would advance towards the consummate visual grandeur of La Dolce Vita.
Academy Awards: Best Foreign Language Film
Cannes Film Festival: Best Actress
