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.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
