NIGHTS OF CABIRIA (1957)

SEE THE FILM THAT INSPIRED BEST PICTURE OSCAR WINNER ANORA!

“I’ve been talking a lot about Nights of Cabiria (1957), but I realize that when I do, many people know it, but they haven’t actually seen it. It’s one of the Fellini films that people don’t really talk about as much, and they should. It was a big influence on Anora.” -Sean Baker

In the role that won her the Best Actress award at Cannes, Giulietta Masina stars as “Cabiria,” a tough Roman streetwalker who, after a near-drowning by her pimp boyfriend, is swept off her feet by a square, but sympathetic, accountant…until a final disillusionment. Federico Fellini’s showcase for his wife won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film of its year.
