PodBill Just what I expected

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

antoniocasaca123 This Fellini film is an unforgettable experience. I have recently seen two high-level "neo-realist" films: Vittorio De Sica's "ladri di Biciclete" and Luis Bunuel's "los Olvidados". After seeing them, I thought it was almost impossible to see some "neo-realist" film superior to these two. But this "la strada" can still be up one level in relation to the films I mentioned. Giuletta Masina is simply amazing in her role of Gelsomina and Anthony Quinn is brilliant as Zampano. It's a cruel movie, being sensitive. It's a sensitive movie, being cruel. It's a movie like no other, of those who will be with us forever.

Richie-67-485852 This movie came across as simple to view which is its strength. The story is down to earth and easy to track and another dynamic takes place that I so enjoy in certain movies. We get to capture for all time the streets, cities, background of these on-location shoots for all time. I like seeing how people dressed, what they ate, how they acted etc. and this film has plenty of that too. I have always enjoyed Anthony Quinn and this movie is no exception. The concept his character acts out is one of regret but not until he pushes what he can get a way with to the limit in this film as his character portrays. The ending is satisfying and one is allowed another dynamic that I look for in movies i.e. to ponder what happened after the film ended. Nicely done. Stay with this as in don't be in a hurry and you won't be disappointed for doing so. Why? Because .....

cinemajesty Film Review: "La Strada" (1954)The story of a universal love between two human beings, coming together under most unlikely circumstances, when a mother sells her daughter Gelsomina to a traveling muscle entertainer Zampanó. Together they grow as notorious artist couple of the street to nowhere. Gelsomina & Zampano have only themselves to prevail in this world, meeting many characters along their way, among them violin-playing clown at a circus company. The fool, performed by Richard Basehart (1914-1984), who like no other test the beating-stick proofed relationship of Gelsomina & Zampano, when she realizes that there will be no other man as Zampano in her life, who is able to take care of her without diminishing her free spirit.Director Frederico Fellini (1920-1993) meets his future wife actress Giulietta Masina (1921-1994) in casting with this mainly on-location shot gem of an independent film, when method actor Anthony Quinn (1915-2001) joins the scene as the unforgettable character of Zampanó, originally written by Federico Fellino and Tullio Penilli, who realizes too late that he had everything a man can wish for in favor of self-indulging life of artist of life itself.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

gavin6942 A care-free girl (Giulietta Masina) is sold to a traveling entertainer (Anthony Quinn), consequently enduring physical and emotional pain along the way.This film is huge and "one of the most influential films ever made", according to the American Film Institute. It won the inaugural Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1956, and it was placed fourth in the 1992 British Film Institute directors' list of cinema's top 10 films. At no time has it ever disappeared from the IMDb Top 250, showing that general audiences love it, too.This is a great film, a fun film, with two characters really driving the story. Quinn and Masina tell the story with their faces, the laughs and snarls and everything else. Although the film was recorded in Italian, it could have survived as a silent film just as easily.
