Apr 1, 1994 · Federico Fellini's "La Strada" (1954) tells a fable that is simple by his later standards, but contains many of the obsessive visual trademarks that he would return to again and again: the circus, and parades, and a figure suspended between earth and sky, and one woman who is a waif and another who is a carnal monster, and of course the seashore.

(Federico Fellini, Fare un film, Einaudi, Torino, 1980, p. 60) Reviews “La strada begins as a sort of nostalgic farce (with the soundtrack by Nino Rota, who was inspired by the first movement of Il Titano’s symphony by Mahler), and turns into a Shakespearian tragedy. Gelsomina, interpreted by Fellini’s wife, reminds us of Harpo Marx.
