The ending of the film is so sad and her look to the camera has to be one of the most heart-rending moments in the entire history of cinema. I was just wondering though how you could possibly describe the film as life-affirming ?, for me it was gut-wrenching and murderously painful to endure (although it is still an astonishing masterwork of world cinema obviously), i just wanted to climb into the computer screen and save her from the hell-on-earth that she was living in. By the way, i haven`t seen that many of Fellini's highly acclaimed other films but i somehow doubt that any of them would be in the same league as "Nights of Cabiria".J. J.

Wistfulness: Both films are some of the best Fellini movies I've seen, he's older ones are more touching, more emotional then he's later work, which became more symbolic and surreal. My favorite ones so far have been the ones you just mentioned, glad you enjoyed them, I reviewed Nights of Cabiria a while back, here's the link for the review: <br /><br />http://filmconnoisseur.blogspot.com/search?q=Nights+of+CabiriaFranco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-75477151966591772412012-10-21T18:39:37.129-07:002012-10-21T18:39:37.129-07:00Francisco, i apologize that this doesn`t relate to...Francisco, i apologize that this doesn`t relate to the current post but i just watched "Nights of Cabiria" and "La Strada" on YouTube and fell madly in love with Giulietta Masina.

When that bird was 18 she was arguably one of the most incredible birds of all-time, no question about it ! ! !.jervaise brooke hamsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-10057629024740667152012-10-19T06:25:19.854-07:002012-10-19T06:25:19.854-07:00Yeah, I believe this is actually my first Jesus Fr...Yeah, I believe this is actually my first Jesus Franco film, I of course know that he has better films on his repertoire so I will give those a chance, any suggestions on where I should start, I'd be glad to hear them! <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!
