Zampan\u00f2, a violent-tempered man, makes his living as an itinerant fire-swallower. He buys Gelsomina, a na\u00efve young woman for 10,000 lire, and she becomes his assistant. She\u2019s forced to become his lover, but she tries to run away, as she is constantly abused by him. She meets il Matto (\u2018The Fool\u2019) in a circus; he is a talented artist and a clown, and he teases and humiliates Zampan\u00f2 whenever he can. During a quarrel, Zampan\u00f2 accidentally kills Il Matto. Following the murder, Gelsomina is driven crazy. Zampan\u00f2 abandons her while she is taking a nap. Some years later, he overhears a woman singing a tune Gelsomina often played and he learns that Gelsomina died. Zampan\u00f2 gets drunk and wanders to the beach, where he becomes fully aware of being lonely. He breaks down and cries on the deserted beach.<\/p>\n

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

“I think I made the film because I fell in love with that \u2018old child\u2019, Gelsomina, a clown who\u2019s a fool and a saint at the same time. When I hear the sound of her trumpet I still feel very sad”
\n(Federico Fellini, Fare un film, Einaudi, Torino, 1980, p. 60)<\/p>\n

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

“La strada begins as a sort of nostalgic farce (with the soundtrack by Nino Rota, who was inspired by the first movement of Il Titano\u2019s symphony by Mahler), and turns into a Shakespearian tragedy. Gelsomina, interpreted by Fellini\u2019s wife, reminds us of Harpo Marx. She is part of the \u2018white clown\u2019 family Fellini loved, while Zampan\u00f2 is a cruel Augusto, and il Matto a philosopher. The latter explains his own view of morality to the fairy tale viewers: \u2018Everything has a meaning in the universe, even a pebble has one\u2019. Fellini directed more important films, but he never found the purity of this childish dream again”.
\n(Claude Beylie,\u201c I capolavori del cinema\u201d, Garzanti, Milan, 1990)<\/p>\n

“Zampan\u00f2 is one of the most powerful, solid and dramatic characters of contemporary cinema. The style of the film is one of the purest and clearest ones in Neorealism (it suffices to think of Gelsomina\u2019s trip to the big country house , where she finds the sick child. Said scenes are very intense). I don\u2019t think it is fair to state that Fellini\u2019s film is an escape from reality. We could instead discuss Fellini\u2019s nature. I think he is inclined to be an exceptional \u2018innocent\u2019 creature, in a Dostojewskian sense”.
\n(Vittorio Bonicelli, \u201cIl Tempo\u201d, 7 October 1954)<\/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":810,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fellini-en","category-filmography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLa strada -
