Fellini's Nights of Cabiria

Winner of four Academy Awards®, FEDERICO FELLINI has had an immense impact on contemporary film. A visionary, a dreamer, a passionate storyteller and one of the most revered directors in the history of cinema, FEDERICO FELLINI managed to create the most original and unique films celebrating the ceaseless carnival of life.

With his vivid visual style, iconic, surreal imagery, sly humour and magical sense for the bizarre, FELLINI’s groundbreaking work has influenced and inspired such celebrated directors as Woody Allen, Terry Gilliam and David Lynch.

Included in this box collection is the enchanting comedy THE WHITE SHEIK (FEDERICO FELLINI’s debut as a solo director and his first collaboration with composer NINO ROTA), his endearing, compelling and unsentimental neo-realism masterpiece NIGHTS OF CABIRIA and LA STRADA, the classic drama that introduced him to the world and established him as an important, creative force.

Nights of Cabiria- Winner of the 1958 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

The film follows Cabiria, Giulietta Masina (Fellini's wife) as she searches for love but encounters frequent heartbreak. Mistreated and taken advantage of by almost everybody she encounters, Cabiria eventually meets a man who promises her a respectable future and falls head over heels in love with him. What follows is a series of humiliating episodes, in which the defiantly positive Cabiria is hurt, but never broken.
