A Fellini classic featuring Giulietta Masina with arguably her greatest performance, this spirited tale of a prostitute who desires to change her life is at once heartbreaking and life-affirming.
Fellini’s first solo feature as director would lay some of the artistic groundwork for his career in this sporadically entertaining comedy about a newlywed’s rendezvous with a ‘romantic ideal’ on her honeymoon in Rome.

Fellini’s mastery of form and style is there for all to revel in this autobiographical film about the psychological crisis of a film director.
This early work by Fellini is truly one of his finest efforts, told in a fabulist style and with great emotional honesty.
