La Cineteca presents: La strada (1954)

Brutish strongman Zampanò takes the naïve, young Gelsomina with him on the road to assist in his performances. When their eventual encounter with his old rival, the Fool, stirs both Gelsomina's romantic dreams and Zampanò's violent anger, tragedy unfolds. Come see for yourself why La strada has become "one of the most influential films ever made," according to the American Film Institute, and placed fourth in the 1992 British Film Institute directors' list of cinema's top 10 films.
