Federico Fellini is a much celebrated director, known for the combination of fantasy and social commentary. He crafted one of the much beloved movies with 81/2. Now his work is being re-celebrated, thanks to the release of 1954’s La Strada
The film revolves around outsiders. Gelsomina is a young woman who is sold to strongman Zampano to be both his wife and performance assistant. Zampanò regularly abuses her as she tries to learn the ropes. Broken, she finds a kindred spirit in the Fool. Will tensions rise as they find themselves part of the same travelling circus?
Peppered with bohemian dogma as well as sparking of a neorealist movement, La Strada is famed for the poetry it weaved in Italian cinema. We’re thrilled to see it return to the big screen!
La Strada is out 19th May
