Winner of the first Academy Award for foreign language film in 1956, LA STRADA is the film that put Federico Fellini on the map internationally, with his wife Giuliana Masina's‚ indelible‚ performance as the waif mistreated by brutish strongman Anthony Quinn. ESSENTIAL ARTHOUSE | LA STRADA | Wednesday, Dec. 17 @ 7pm | Moxie Cinema. Tickets are $11/Adults, $9/Seniors & Students, and Free for Moxie Members - on sale now. There has never been a face quite like that of Giulietta Masina. Her husband, the legendary Federico Fellini, directs her as Gelsomina in La Strada, the film that launched them both to international stardom. Gelsomina is sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. When Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart), his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With La Strada 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. (NR, 108 min.)
