Product description

Cabiria (Giuletta Masina) is a resilient Italian prostitute who, despite the various disappointments which come her way, always looks on the bright side of life. Even her optimism is threatened, however, when she is dumped first by a glamorous film star (Amedo Nazzari), then by her supposedly respectable fiancé, Oscar (Francois Périer), who also absconds with Cabiria's life savings. Federico Fellini directs.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Miracle of Giuletta Masina (aka Mrs Fellini)
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I'm sure, like many, I first set eyes on the then Mrs Fellini, Giuletta Masina, who stars as Cabiria, as the stray little clown in La Strada, who was sold to Anthony Quinn's cruel one-man performing act. I'm glad that I bought and viewed the two DVDs in this order.

    How the character developed in La Strada was extraordinarily compelling and at its conclusion, I was in distress and tears. I was also in tears at the end of Cabiria, for different reasons, of which I'll keep to myself, so as to not spoil for others.

    Cabiria, is a plucky little prostitute in a poor, run-down Rome area whose sassy lip and terrier like fight-back saves her bacon, many times. From an attempted drowning at the start, to being a distracting plaything for a film star who gets back with his mistress in front of Cabiria's eyes.

    There's always that fiery competition and catty dialogue one presumes street-girls the world over are forever rattling off. Bettering themselves, moving on, meeting Mr Right etc. Her entanglements are counterbalanced by that other Fellini (La Dolce Vita especially) fascination, the Catholic church. Cabiria isn't a fallen angel, just one that's stuck in a degrading and constricting 'profession', always at the mercy of someone else.

    Eventually, she believes she meets her Intended-to-be. The immense joy that radiates from that wide-eyed face of hers then; but at other times can send rods of acute sadness through you in seconds just by a held expression. Maybe, she's the original Meryl Streep, in that, even without dialogue, her face alone can express a whole scene. Direction from one's husband obviously helps.

    Really very good films generally don't get more than a 9/10 from me. There is always a sliver of room for improvement in 99.9 of films. To get a 10, it has to have a profound, personal effect on me. This did and whilst not having any idea how the film was going to end, my emotions went through every scenario - and back again.

    This is an absolute must for anybody and everybody, who has a TV (or PC, or Ipad, or whatever). I'm still bristling with feelings for it, some time after seeing this genuine masterpiece.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great film
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2022

    Cabiria, an irrepressible, fiercely independent sex worker who, as she moves through the sea of Rome’s humanity, through adversity and heartbreak, must rely on herself—and her own indomitable spirit—to stay standing. Winner of the best actress prize at Cannes for Masina and the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, Nights of Cabiria brought the early, neorealist-influenced phase of Fellini’s career to a transcendent close with its sublimely heartbreaking yet hopeful final image, which embodies, perhaps more than any other in the director’s body of work, the blend of the bitter and the sweet that define his vision of the world.

    The first Fellini movie I ever saw, just after it was release. The music is catchy and like all of Nino Rotas sound tracks, first class and unique. It's about a pathetic little Italian 'lady of the evening' and her adventures on the periphery of Rome. Giulietta Masina (Fellini's wife) appears in several of his films. She is excellent.

    3.0 out of 5 stars NOT A CLASSIC
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Whatever the critics say this is not a Classic. The story it can be argued is a circular tale about a lady of the streets who is looking for something which might be fulfilment. Set in Rome it does offer a unique view of Rome not too long after WW2.
    However Federico Fellini goes off the rails with a meandering tale which is at best interesting and worst boring.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Essential viewing for all Fellini fans.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This film is another example of pure Fellini,the cast is composed of strange yet interesting characters intertwined in a series of situations which somehow gel to form the fine mosaic that is '50s Italy. Masina is at her best,funny,confused,angry,happy,sad...her facial expressions are a masterclass in character acting. I thoroughly recommend this film to anyone even remotely interested in European cinema. A must see.

    The message of this film is to enjoy life and be grateful, skirting a fine line between heartbreak and comedy in a way only Fellini can.

    Il DVD e`stato consegnato con puntualita`; buona la qualita`video del film; i contenuti extra del disco sono numerosi e il sonoro e`stato aggiornato magnificamente. Pasolini e Flaiano collaborano alla sceneggiatura, Fellini dirige e Giulietta Masina interpreta un personaggio che restera`per sempre nella storia del cinema. Le smorfie di Cabiria sono il vero capolavoro del film, le vicende della sua vita, semplicemente troppo umane e commoventi per non toccare lo spettatore nel profondo. Simpatico Amedeo Nazzari nel ruolo del divo viziato e narcisista. Nelle "Notti di Cabiria" non potevano certo mancare tutti quegli ambigui e buffi personaggi che costellano da sempre il cinema dell'universo Fellini e che sono poi determinanti nel creare le magiche atmosfere di tutti i suoi film. Stupende le musiche e il finale. Capolavoro ineguagliabile!

    Ogni volta che vedo un film di Fellini mi accorgo di quanti registi si sono ispirati a lui per le loro opere cinematografiche... in questo film in particolare ho rivisto molto del personaggio di "Italia" in "non ti muovere" di Castellitto.. questo rileva una scarsa capacità di innovazione dei registi attuali ma soprattutto che Fellini ha costituito e costituisce ancora (vedi La grande bellezza) un archetipo concettuale e figurativo a cui rifarsi sempre... questo fa di lui, a mio avviso, il più grande regista italiano di sempre. Giulietta Masina poi straordinaria come sempre. Chapeau!!
