Movie Reviews of Nights of Cabiria - Criterion Collection

Movie Review: The Best Movie I Have Ever Seen
Summary: 5 Stars

There really hasn't been a better movie since Nights Of Cabiria. I saw this film many moons ago in college and to this day I have yet to see anything that makes me feel happier and more optimistic about life. It has every element that makes a good movie GREAT -- love, hate, happiness, sadness, and most of all, eternal optimism. The star character Cabiria is something out of the book of 'How To Write A Compelling Character.' You want more for her then she wants for herself. You want to see her succeed. You want everything for her. You want to know where she is today. You see yourself in her. She is brilliantly played by Giulietta Masina. Every filmmaker, screenwriter and actor should study this film. Any person with a tender heart should see this film. As for me, I do not think I could like someone who did not like this film. Silly, I know, but I simply have never been able to get over the fact of someone not 'getting' this movie. Some kind of artistic, life, or senstativity chip would have to be lacking -- at least that is what I tell myself. Yes, silly. Oh well.

Summary of Nights of Cabiria - Criterion Collection

Giulietta Masina won Best Actress at Cannes as the title character of one of Fellini's most haunting films. Oscar? winner for Best Foreign Language Film, Nights of Cabiria (Le Notti di Cabiria) is the tragic story of a naive prostitute searching for true love in the seediest sections of Rome. Criterion proudly presents the restored director's cut in a breathtaking new transfer.

A year after his international breakthrough film La Strada, Federico Fellini and his leading lady/wife Giulietta Masina collaborated on another masterpiece, a magical mix of neorealism and romantic optimism set on the streets of Rome. Masina's moon-faced and bright-eyed Cabiria is a passionate streetwalker with a heart as big as Italy and the emotional spontaneity of a child, a woman with a hearty passion for life whose constant weakness is falling in love with mercenary creeps. For a couple of hours we share the dreams and disillusionments of Cabiria as she rattles around Rome before once again losing her heart. The bittersweet heartbreak is tempered with a soaring celebration of the human spirit: no other Fellini film offers such honest hope in the face of such bitter devastation. Fellini left the poor and the working class to revel in the decadence of Rome's high society for his next film, La Dolce Vita, a film that could have sprung from Cabiria's hilarious chance interlude with a matinee idol (played by Amedeo Nazzari). Rambling and leisurely paced, Nights of Cabiria is a sweet film of warmth and simple grace. It became the basis of Neil Simon's American musical Sweet Charity, with Shirley Maclaine taking Masina's role in Bob Fosse's film version. --Sean Axmaker
