A quick-tongued, vivacious Roman sex worker is nearly killed by her lover, humiliated by a famous actor, and left penniless by her fiancé—but despite everything, Cabiria never loses her almost childlike joie de vivre.

Shot from Nights of Cabiria, 1957

The most perfectly beautiful and touching of Fellini’s movies.

— David Denby, The New York Magazine

Giulietta Masina’s acting here is considered one of the best performances by an actress in the history of cinema. As for Fellini, he converted a simple story into an intoxicating dream about Rome—a city that doesn’t believe in tears but can’t resist a smile if it’s projected at eternity.
