(LE NOTTI DI CABIRIA, Federico Fellini, Italy 1957, 118 min., Italian with subtitles, 35mm)

The incomparable Giulietta Masina (aka Mrs. Fellini) is Cabiria, a somehow innocent prostitute who walks the sordid back streets of Rome in a series of funny and moving episodes. The Chaplin-esque Masina is radiant as she overcomes her squalid surroundings. Rialto Pictures’ restoration of this Best Foreign Film Oscar® winner restores the previously missing “man with a sack” sequence.
