NIGHTS OF CABIRIA (1956)

FEDERICO FELLINI

Plot

Winner of the Best Foreign Film Oscar back in 1957, this early Fellini drama also bagged a Best Actress award at Cannes for Giulietta Masina, and was the inspiration for the hit musical "Sweet Charity". Cabiria (Masina) is the archetypal tart with a heart, a street prostitute who never loses her smile or her faith in human nature, despite being rejected and ripped off by the various men in her life. Digitally remastered from a newly restored print which contains a seven-minute scene not seen since the film's first screening in 1957.
