Federico Fellini's classic drama, NIGHTS OF CABIRIA, is about a childlike prostitute who remains curiously unsullied by the brutal world she inhabits, even as the love and respectability she seeks elude her. Guilietta Masina plays Cabiria, a wide-eyed waif, a streetwalker living in a poor section of Rome where she owns her own little house, has a bank account, and dreams of a miracle. We follow her nights and days and watch as her boyfriend steals her purse and tosses her in the river, a movie star on the Via Veneto takes her home with him, and she visits the Madonna. When she meets an accountant who watches her act out her heart's longings while under hypnosis on a vaudeville stage, she thinks that at long last she has found her ticket out of the slums. Is it fate that led to their meeting? Is this finally a man who appreciates her for who she is? Is it true love? These suspenseful--and strangely comical--questions that will decide Cabiria's fate once and for all make this film one of Federico Fellini's most haunting works.

Editorial reviews
"...Wistful and willful, delighted and heartbroken, there has never been a face quite like Giulietta Masina's. To see her in the beautifully restored 1957 NIGHTS OF CABIRIA is to witness the indomitably of life itself..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (07/01/1998)
4 stars out of 5 -- "Giulietta Masina enchants as the tart with a heart whose misadventures went on to inspire SWEET CHARITY." Total Film - Neil Smith (04/01/2009)
