Cabiria, an innocent and unhappy prostitute, risks being killed by a friend who wants to rob her. She is picked up by a popular movie star, Alberto Lazzati, and brought to his estate. However, his mistress shows up and Cabiria gets locked in the bathroom all night with the dog. She then joins her fellow prostitutes to attend a service; she prays and hopes a miracle will take place. She meets Oscar, an accountant, who promises her a happy future. At first she is cautious and suspicious, but after several meetings she falls passionately in love with him and they get married only a few weeks later. During their honeymoon, Oscar becomes very nervous and violent and wants to kill her and steal her money. She throws her purse at his feet, sobbing, while he abandons her. Hours later, she picks herself up and stumbles out of the wood in tears. In the film’s famous last shot Cabiria walks along the long road leading to town where she meets a group of young people riding scooters, playing music, and dancing. They happily form a parade around her until she begins to smile through her tears.<\/p>\n

Peculiarites<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Censorship authorities had banned the movie but I didn’t want negatives to be burnt. Thus, based on the advice of a clever friend of mine, an open-minded Jesuit, father Arpa, I went to Genoa to meet a famous Cardinal, who was likely to be elected Pope, to ask him to watch the film. A throne-like chair, with a large red pillow and golden fringes had been put in the middle of the room. The cardinal arrived at 12.30 a.m. on his black Mercedes. I was allowed to remain in the hall and I didn\u2019t know whether the cardinal had really watched the whole movie or had slept throughout it. Probably father Arpa woke the Cardinal up exactly when processions or sacred images were shown. At the end he said: ‘ Poor Cabiria, we must do something for you!’ I think he just had to make a phone call. Someone publicly accused me of being a sort of Richelieu, who didn\u2019t fight openly, but rather conspired behind the scenes. Luckily enough at that time it was possible to waste time in this type of debates. Anyway, the film was saved, upon a condition: the shot of the man with the bag had to be removed, as the Cardinal had required. […] The episode was inspired by an extraordinary character with whom I spent two or three nights in Rome: a kind philanthropist, a magician, who later had a vision dedicated to a particular mission: giving poor people all the food and clothing he had on his bag. This happened every day. I saw fairy things when I was with him. For example, when we opened a manhole and expected to find only mice and mud, we found a little old lady who was asleep. In the corridors of a sumptuous palace in Via del Corso \u2013 where the Socialist Party\u2019s headquarters are now located – there were tramps who slept until five o’clock in the morning, as the night warden had let them in. The man’s knew all these people, he gave one of them an injection, and another one some food. In the movie I imagined Cabiria when she met him on the Appia Antica road, while she was going home at dawn, and was angry as a customer had not paid her. She saw the man holding the bag leaving a car and heading for tufa quarries. He then stopped on the edge of a chasm and called a woman. A nasty old whore called \u2018the Atomic Bomb\u2019 came out of nowhere; she was living miserably then. Then Cabiria agreed to go back home with the man by car and was very impressed by his stories. It was a very touching little shot, but I was forced to take it out, maybe because it upset some Catholic circles. Isn\u2019t it ridiculous that when Cabiria was screened, the Mayor of Rome protested because I had put the whores on a site – Passeggiata Archeologica (archeological promenade) – that he had tried to upgrade?”
\n(Federico Fellini, Intervista sul cinema, a cura di Giovanni Grazzini, Laterza, Roma-Bari, 1983, pp. 102-103)<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

“In Le notti di Cabiria (Nights of Cabiria) Fellini shows his balance, his powerful vision of characters and how he masters all film-making technical aspects. This is Fellini\u2019s most mature film. You can rarely find some disputable moments in the film”.
\n(Lino Del Fra, \u201cBianco e Nero\u201d, a. XVIII, n. 6, June 1957)<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fellini-en","category-filmography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLe notti di Cabiria -
