I was so excited to see this in full 1080 on TCM - I've long thought it the most beautiful film I've ever seen. For the brilliance of its color cinematography, of course, and the heartbreaking turn by Masina. The combination of these factors serve to highlight Fellini's powerful message that we must look inward to find our worth, instead of deferring to our mothers, husbands, and religions to determine it for us.
By far the most intense, sad, exciting, and frightening film about WWII that I've ever seen. Amazing!
glued to this movie for every second of its 165 minutes. just amazing...
