The performances are wonderful from the three main characters, so the humor and tragedy is believable. Fellini is beginning to move away from his early influence by the Italian neo-realism movement. Parts still owe something to neo-realism, but other parts are a bit more fantastical. With these Italian pictures of the 40's and 50's audio tracks were not recorded simultaneously with the film, so whether the audio is changed to English dialog or is heard in the original Italian, it is all dubbed. I noticed more with this movie than some other Italian films I've seen from around this time that the dialog and trumpet and violin audio and video don't quite line up. I expect a little more from listening to the original audio on the collector's edition I viewed, but I suppose that was just the technology of the times and it contributes to the fantasy aspects of the story.
Giulietta Masina is wonderful. She is unique, and brimming with an overt positive attitude that charms through warmth; and La Strada is the perfect tool to showcase her original talents. Fellini's road bound journey is filmmaking of a straight structure with simple people, but involving complex relationships and innovative filming techniques. Rota's score complements the tenderness, while Quinn's brutal arrogance balances the steadiness of Fellini's lensing eye.

cute. but shallow.
Looks interesting will try to find and watch!
Although the behaviour of the characters is completely fool (and makes you loose your nerves), it is a really touching story. Three main points: Anthony Quinn, Nino Rota´s wonderful music, and the incredible acting of the even, even more lovely Giulietta Massina...
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "La Strada (The Road)" !
