La Strada
La Strada (1954), Frederico Fellini:
Honestly, I couldn't stand 8½. I'm sure I just wasn't ready for it, didn't know what to do with it; it's probably wasn't the best film to start with (just as The Seventh Seal was a pretty crappy Bergman starter). La Strada does provide 8½ some context. You really do get the sense of the Fellini universe, even viewing such a small slice of it.
Back to matters at hand... from other people's opinions of this movie, it seems Giulietta Masina is really what makes or breaks the movie. I really think she was amazing and thought the movie was likewise.
