The actress Masina who plays the girl was married to Fellini the director, and died in her 70's, just 5 months after her husband and requested that this song be played at her funeral.
I love this film so much, one of my all time favourites (my most watched Fellini's film), strangely it remainds me on Ikiru somehow and also on Der Blaue Engel. I love philosophical existential films.
I never paid much attention to Richard Basehart before this movie. I had a hard time believing my eyes and ears. I know he's dubbed, but such a good performance. Anthony Quinn is good in this too... American cinema didn't get this kind of acting out of these two guys.
Fellini wasn't just an ordinary man, but a creative force....
I can't think of a director, writer, or anyone for the matter that said more about the human condition than he did. This film is haunting and brings chills to my spine....
I love this movie... one of the greatest! It's too sad that... this kind of movies are not produced anymore... I mean the drama... Now... all movies is about sex... those days are gone ):

@cannoir No. "La Strada" means "the road," and the majority of the film takes place on the road and Zampano's truck. Only the last fourth (or so) of the film takes place at a traveling circus. All of the main characters end up leaving it anyways though...
I saw this 2 years ago, when I was in my first year of college. There was a prank fire alarm at my residence.. but I stayed in and watch this movie through while I could've died!
"my dog died over there"-the classic Fellini parade-the little boy with the genetic abnormalities shut away from the rest of the world-those little twists of eeriness are the definition of "Fellini-esque"
Greetings, Cc! The lively cascade of notes in this overture was a great Saturday morning eye-opener and motivator; but then the tune becomes bittersweet - and then it evokes great sadness to the soul. I have never seen this Fellini classic, but you have instilled the desire for me to procure it. Thank you, Cc, for introducing this to me.
Before I exited this screen, a Brazilian friend phoned, and I asked him about this film. He highly recommended that I watch it, and he also recommended an Italian film called Il Sorpasso by Dino Risi, a close friend of Fellini. I am so grateful to you and folks from other nations "introducing me to the world."
I also reccomend "8 1/2" and "Macaroni", Francois Truffaut's "Breathless", and the original black and white, not the colorized version of "The Night Of the Living Dead"
Godard, not Truffaut-thank you JK-my bad-I also reccomend "Kiss Me Deadly" starring ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer, "The Postman Always Rings Twice" with John Garfield and Lana Turner, "Key Largo" with Bogart and Eddie Robinson,Lionel Barrymore Lauren Bacall, Jay Silverheels in a minor role,"Hud", "Shane" both starring Brandon DeWilde,"Of Mice and Men" starring Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney Jr-Chaney is one of my favorite actors of all times, the guy was brilliant
salute Nino Rota!

Great movie. Great actress...Giulietta Masina !
Nino Roti's score is just superb, inspiring sensitivity to the scenes.
It is art the old fashion way...Italian, Fellini style.
Films like this ( and "Nights of Cabiria" ) rarely come around anymore.
I am glad I saw them when I was a young man.

以前NHKで放送された「道」をVHSテープに録画してあったのを記憶しています。まさか、冬季オリンピックで高橋選手がBGMで使うとは~懐かしいのとこの映画の結末の寂しさがこみ上げてきます。ザンパノ役のアンソニークイーンもジェルソミーナ役の女優も今は亡き名俳優女優です。あのラッパの音曲が流れると懐かしいけど悲しくなるのはどうしてだろうか?二度と戻らない過去にふけるより未来に突き進み人生楽しく生きていった方が今は得かな?

as much as i love La Strada, his b+w films didn't look as good as Antonioni's and De Sica's in my view.
there is no carnival without colour, if you get my drift, and Fellini was the master of both.

Just a correction. "Breathless" is directed by Jean-Luc Godard, not Francois Truffanut.
