- Synopsis:
Welcome to a bittersweet world of episodic adventures and strange encounters. Welcome to a sordid, nocturnal world of ruthless, callous boyfriends and stray movie stars looking for seedy kicks. Welcome to the harsh, unforgiving streets of a crumbling Rome where hope can still prevail and dreams cradle the lost. Welcome to the world of Cabiria, a feisty, loud, outspoken and somewhat naïve prostitute waiting for a miracle, and one of the most unforgettable and endearing characters of European cinema. Eventually remade in Hollywood as 'Sweet Charity', 'Nights of Cabiria' is a often humorous, poignant, unflinching and vivid portrait of one woman's picaresque existence and her perseverance through adversity. Starring Fellini's wife, Giulietta Masina, as the irrepressible protagonist, 'Nights of Cabiria' marked Fellini's last foray into gritty neo-realism before venturing into the surreal satire and dream logic of 'La Dolce Vita' and 'Eight and a Half'. - Actors:

Exquisite! - Nights of Cabiria review by CB
Rented this film because of its high rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Did it justify the praise, yes indeed. The story is one of resilience against the odds, beautifully filmed and edited, and the lead actress, Fellini's wife in real life, was absolutely superb, very believable. You have to have a sympathetic nature to enjoy a classic European offering like this. Enjoy!!
