'Le Notte Di Cabiria' is the connecting link between Fellini's more famous 'La Strada' and 'La Dolce Vita'. Cabiria is just as silly (and endearing) as Gelsomina (from 'La Strada'), but does come into contact with the Roman jet-set (which we later get to know in 'La Dolce Vita'). Cabiria's whore life isn't happy already and the men she chooses push her even further into the shit. Still, the film ends with an optimistic scene and a smiling lead actress Giulietta Masina.

New Fellini, same problems.

I just have a lot of trouble with the loudness of his movies. Both the characters and the music make a lot of (shrill) noise, so much so that I usually have to turn the volume down a bit with his films. That takes the sharpness off a bit, but the irritation remains unfortunately.

A film that stands or falls with Masina's acting performance. Somehow I can see how someone can find her a pretty nice character, but extreme overacting and behavior that gets the blood under my nails make her a completely intolerable character for me. The drama immediately falls into the water.

And beyond that, I just don't get much out of Fellini's movies. It all chatters at a fairly brisk pace, so that the almost 2 hours don't have to be too boring, but if it doesn't know how to captivate then it just doesn't help. A nice poster remains.

1.0*

Fellini likes contrasts: happiness versus misfortune, poverty versus wealth, naivety and credulity versus deceit...
Between the opening scene and the scene towards the end in which Cabiria is repeatedly robbed of her money lies her entire life: prostitution to avoid poverty, the hope of getting out of humiliation with the desire for true love...
Fellini introduces it in a few isolated parts, life on the street, the movie star, the procession, the hypnotist, the charmer and, as quite often, an air of fatalism that hangs over being poor and inability to free oneself from this inferior existence. It is also confirmed by the final scene in which Cabiria finds a certain life force in her sadness. She is not alone and this is where she belongs...
Giuliette Masina is a certitude for such role.
