La Strada is the classic film that launched both Giulietta Masina and her husband, director Federico Fellini into international stardom in 1954. Cast as Gelsomina, Masina is sold by her mother into the employ of Zampano, a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.
