🇮🇹 Part 1/4 of our series Hard Light at UR: A Trip to Italy

Federico Fellini’s perfect combination of his early Italian Neorealist tendencies and his adoration for Chaplin and the cirque, La Strada is a perfect road movie. The film stars Giulietta Masina as Gelsomina, sold to the strongman Zampanò to join a circus in a barren postwar Italy. There’s an immediate battle of the wills as Gelsomina remains optimistic and upbeat despite Zampanò’s brutal and impudent behavior. Their adventures on the road culminate in an unforgettable finale to what Fellini called one of his most sentimental films. Join us and consider bringing tissues!
