	DVDFILE.COM: Nights Of Cabiria review
		Fellini himself once said that he still worried about the character of Cabiria, and such is the impact of her character as played by Masina.
		Cabiria is the type of person you laugh at while you feel sorry for her.
		As good as Nights of Cabiria is, and as glad as I am to have it in my collection, Criterion should have priced it at the lower price point reserved for lesser titles with few or no supplements ($29.95).

	New York State Writers Institute - Nights of Cabiria
		Masina's Cabiria is a prostitute, and the film begins with a petty street crime; her purse is stolen, and she is thrown into the Tiber.
		Her near-drowning forces Cabiria to reconsider her life, and her question, "What if I had died?" is the beginning of a quest for meaning in a life that seems initially to lack moral justification.
		Cabiria meets a movie star, the object of her veneration, and he is immediately made a stand-in for one of Fellini's most characteristic themes: the director's paradoxical love for Church ritual and simultaneous ridicule of religious hypocrisy.

		Cabiria is very defensive in general, displaying frustration at what she sees as meddling in her private affairs.
		All of the citizens go to say thier confessions to the Madonna, and Cabiria is the only one who seems to take the confessional seriously, as she wishes to be taken from this destitute life.
		Giulietta Masina, as Cabiria, is very good; she is able to make us forget that this certainly is not a genuine depiction of a prostitute.

		Of course a prostitute is always acting in one way or another, but Cabiria seems to have a character in mind--perhaps Chaplin's Little Tramp, with a touch of Lucille Ball, who must have been on Italian TV in the 1950s.
		Or perhaps this actually is Cabiria and not a performance: Perhaps she is a waiflike innocent, a saint among the sinners.
		``Nights of Cabiria,'' directed by Masina's husband, Federico Fellini, in 1957, won her the best actress award at Cannes, and the film won the Oscar for best foreign picture--his second in a row, after ``La Strada'' in 1956 (he also won for ``8 1/2'' in 1963 and ``Amarcord'' in 1974).

		Cabiria is also noted for its extensive location footage, lavish sets and costuming and innovative special effects.

	Nights of Cabiria Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		The protagonist of the film is Cabiria (played by Fellini's wife Giulietta Masina), a scrappy and tough-talking streetwalker whose seemingly tough exterior hides her emotional insecurity.
		On the other hand, she also brings an unconquerable joie de vivre to Cabiria actions, whether it be mamboing on the spur of the moment, or trying her best to blend in to a 'fish out of water' situation.
		Finally, "Nights of Cabiria" shines for its deeply personal perspective-- at the heart of this film is one woman's fierce struggle to free herself from the relative safety of self-imposed isolation, and her inadvertent self-discovery of the courage that lies within.

		Cabiria begins to weep with fear as she prays to the Madonna.
		Afterwards, Cabiria loses her temper again, as she realizes that everyone is unchanged from the incident.
		Masina (who passed away in 1994) was 37 when she starred in Nights of Cabiria, and she magically transforms herself, depending on the scene, to a reckless youth, or a weary adult.

		Masina is sometimes known as the female Chaplin, and her performance in Cabiria is one of the greatest examples of that.
		Cabiria is sassy and brassy, and Masina plays her to hilarious comedic effect.
		Lazzari takes Cabiria to a club, where he's cold to her, but when he takes her back to his house, he warms up and proves himself to be a nice guy after all.

		Cabiria isn't exactly Via Veneto material -- she lives out on the road to Ostia and works the low-rent districts, though she's such a tough cookie it's a wonder she gets any customers.
		Even when she snags the movie star (a feat that her ratty fur and bobby socks render even less credible), she treats him more like a trophy john than as someone who may need a little attention himself.
		Fellini might answer that Cabiria hasn't any sympathy to spare -- and no wonder given that, except for the "Man with the Sack," the men in her life are all creeps.

		A young local recognizes her and tells the others "She lives the life." The difference between this line and its previous subtitle ("She's a well-known nightbird") illustrates how the new translation more successfully captures the subtle nuances of class distinction at the heart of this film.
		Cabiria is past her prime and worried about her future.
		“Cabiria” is a fl-and-white gem, especially in its restored splendor.

		Cabiria may battle the insulting grande dame that works the same low scale Passeggiata Archeologica, but she continues to hope for something better.
		Cabiria is discarded, sentenced to spending the night in the bathroom with the dog before the actor can sneak her out in the morning.
		Disappointed when this doesn't prove to be a life-changing experience, the indomitable Cabiria thinks she has discovered true love when she meets Oscar (Francois Perier), who has been touched by her pure-hearted revelations during a stage performance by a hypnotist.

		An engrossing historical melodrama with all the trimmings, "Cabiria" would be rather impressive if it had been made in the mid- or late- 1920's, and the fact that it was made in 1914 is astounding.
		The story blends together several fictional and several historical characters, centering on the adventures and misfortunes of the girl Cabiria.

		It might help to recall that, in addition to the biblical image of Christ in the Resurrection or the Transfiguration, or as the miracle-worker-healer-teacher, there is also the image of Christ in the suffering servant of Yahweh spoken of by Isaiah in the Old Testament, and the image of a Jesus powerless on the cross.
		Cabiria's identity and function as a Christ-figure does not exactly declare itself explicitly in the plot of the film.
		Cabiria is not just spunky, she can be downright fierce at times.

	Untitled Document
		CABIRIA, essentially, is the first Fellini film I've seen that allows the camera to act as a silent, entirely objective narrator, letting events play out naturally, as they would in real life (given the particular circumstances of the film).
		CABIRIA is also routed heavily in psychological realism, which, in large part, is due to its lack of 'types' and its absence of heightened reality.
		CABIRIA is more 'Realistic' and psychologically evocative than the other Fellini films I've seen, but is still, in nature, a Fellini film.

		The vivid, magical nightlife reflects Cabiria's faith that someday she will find an honest man. Fellini is at his best depicting this demimonde full of male loafers, wearing sunglasses after dark and chatting with the cruising women.
		Cabiria's spirit isn't gone, even if her rabbit-fur jacket is molting and her clothes are torn.
		As Cabiria's suitor says, "When we are faced with purity and candor, the mask of cynicism falls." Masina has that kind of purity and candor.

		Cabiria is a prostitute that had a very bad luck, the people she met betrayed her, the men she loved humiliated her, and we feel as if there's no hope for her, and that Felini is making a sad portrait of humanity.
		The viewers which have escorted Cabiria are emphatic towards her, and by now are sharing her pain.

		Cabiria, unforgettably portrayed by the director's wife, Giulietta Masina, is a rather pathetic aging prostitute who plies her trade in a desolate red-light district outside Rome.
		The whores, along with Cabiria's unkillable sense of hope, are what help her survive; indeed, they're the only group in the film with a sense of community and caring, in spite of being marginalized and ridiculed by those who observe or abuse them.
		Cabiria accompanies him on his silent journey, and sees her possible future when she meets a hooker she knew, once wealthy, now living in a hole in the ground.

		Cabiria and her nurse, along with other servants, escape the devastation but are promptly capturedby Phoenician pirates.
		As a child, she is nothing but a victim of fate and circumstance, and as a near-adult does nothing whatsoever to win her own freedom or to contribute in any way to the story.

		The print of "Cabiria" is on loan from the Museo del Cinema in Turin, the most venerable archive in Italy.
		The principal set pieces in "Cabiria" depict land and naval battles (the incineration of a Roman fleet approaching Syracuse by a system of high-powered mirrors invented by Archimedes) and a barbaric sacrificial rite at the temple of Moloch.
		"Cabiria" was such a hit that he made three sequels revolving around its strongman hero, Maciste, a slave of North African origin who comes to the rescue of his master, a Roman nobleman named Fulvio, destined to wed a Sicilian slave girl named Cabiria.

		Federico Fellini's classic drama, NIGHTS OF CABIRIA, is about a childlike prostitute who remains curiously unsullied by the brutal world she inhabits, even as the love and respectability she seeks elude her.

		Cabiria is almost impossible not to like, and Masina makes her into a unique character.
