La Strada

Last night, I watched La Strada (1954), directed and co-written by Frederico Fellini. Brilliant!

It is so nice to look at that I think I would have enjoyed it even without subtitles, though I don't speak Italian.

The dialogue is pretty great, though. Here's the opening scene in English

Gelsomina!

Mother says to come home right away.

There's a man here.

He came on a big motorcycle.

He says Rosa is dead.

They certainly don't waste any time!
