La Strada

FILMED IN ITALY - WHERE IT HAPPENED!

When Gelsomina, a naïve young woman, is purchased from her impoverished mother by brutish circus strongman Zampanò to be his wife and partner, she loyally endures her husband's coldness and abuse as they travel the Italian countryside performing together. Soon Zampanò must deal with his jealousy and conflicted feelings about Gelsomina when she finds a kindred spirit in Il Matto, the carefree circus fool, and contemplates leaving Zampanò.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
