Ennesimo grande film di Fellini,una storia poetica in un mare di disperazione,con punte di lirismo eccezionali.Una semplicità unica e una struggente malinconia pervade tutti personaggi che diventano,grazie alla favolosa mano del regista,delle maschere senza tempo.Bellissimo il momento del distacco di Gelsomina dal"Matto",così come il discorso al monastero.Nino Rota suggella il tutto con una colonna sonora divina.4*

Compelling for the most part, but this should have stayed Gelsomina's movie. Turning it into a pity party for Zampano weakens a lot of the emotional impact.

Who is this movie about? Yes, we delight in the facial expressions of the childlike Gelsomina, but there's a point where we feel an overwhelming sadness for the brutish Zampano. One of my favorite movies.

Me encanto la fiereza y la fragilidad que rodea a Anthony Quinn, creo que hace un papel estupendo junto a Giulietta Masina. Los encuadres tienen mucho del neorrealismo, tierras baldías donde se establece el circo. La historia es sobre Zampano, que compra a Gelsomina para que sea su asistente en su acto de romper cadenas con su pecho. Su relación es muy compleja, una mezcla de amor-odio y necesidad.

La Strada is Fellini's improvisation on the epic theme of a beast and a beauty as depicted in the 1740 fairy tale 'Beauty and the Beast' and later on glorified by Victor Hugo's literary marvel 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame'.

Giulietta Masina pulls you through the film with her open, honest presence, winning smile and sparkling eyes. The film itself, while beautifully filmed, seems much ado about too little. I don't believe the film has the depth people attribute to it. It's a simple story with little happening much below the surface.

This is my second foray into the films of Fellini, the first being 8½, and I found it way better. Giulietta Masina exposed a full range of emotions and the film has a permanent place in my heart & soul.

Somehow Fellini's films know the way into my heart or soul, and La Strada was no exception. Bravo!

What a beautiful movie, and a beautiful ending to boot. A genuine joy to watch.
