Nights of Cabiria (1957)

The Story

"There is more grace and courage in the famous image of Giulietta Masina smiling through her tears in Federico Fellini's 1957 Nights of Cabiria, the restored treasure of the summer movie season, than there is in all the fire-breathing blockbusters Hollywood has to offer…a cinematic masterpiece.” Janet Maslin, The New York Times, 1998. 

Rome, 1957. A woman, Cabiria, is robbed and left to drown by her boyfriend, Giorgio. Rescued, she resumes her life and tries her best to find happiness in a cynical world. Even when she thinks her struggles are over and she has found happiness and contentment, things may not be what they seem.
