Nights of Cabiria is one of those timeless old films that will always remain poignant and relevant. It carries that old innocent cinematic charm of an era that can never be duplicated.
Masina, is so talented in this film and this character is SO unforgettable. WHAT TALENT!! This woman doesn't even have to say anything!! You just have to look into those huge pupils and watch the variety of expressions on her face that convey so many emotions without a single word. I would but it in comparisons to Masina as a circus clown, who can just do everything with her face.
The film is a good play on life and redemption in general (done very well might I add), and for that it rates high for me personally. It is also very funny and charming. I can not comment on how it compares to Sweet Charity (which is based on this film) cause I have not seen it.
The film slows in certain sections but is never boring. GREAT FILM!!
Rating 8 out of 10
