Review of Nights of Cabiria (1957) by Mohamed F — 05 Jun 2011
When Fellini was still not overly self-indulgent (read "Juliet of the Spirits" with its visual sequences) with regard to stylistic acrobatics of a decidedly bizarre mental stripe, he was still able to create simple, anthropocentric masterpieces that did not rely overly much on stylistics because they had strong stories to work with, as well as a yet-unspoilt Giulietta Masina, to boot.
Such is the case with the positively glorious and devastatingly heartrending masterpiece about the tempestuous prostitute who breaks our hearts through the unexpected love transformation and that legendary walk at the end: the stuff movies legends are made of.
Or at least worthy followers of De Sica's neorealism.
