The infinitely expressive Masina registers both childlike wonder and heartbreaking despair as Gelsomina, loyal companion to the traveling strongman Zampanò (Anthony Quinn, in a toweringly physical performance), whose callousness and brutality gradually wear down her gentle spirit. Winner of the very first Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, La Strada possesses the purity and timeless resonance of a fable and remains one of cinema's most exquisitely moving visions of humanity struggling to survive in the face of life's cruelties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlu-ray Special Edition Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4K digital restoration, undertaken in collaboration with The Film Foundation and the Cineteca di Bologna, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlternate English-dubbed soundtrack, featuring the voices of Anthony Quinn and Richard Basehart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAudio commentary from 2003 by Peter Bondanella, author of The Cinema of Federico Fellini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction from 2003 by filmmaker Martin Scorsese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiulietta Masina: The Power of a Smile (2004), a documentary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFederico Fellini's Autobiography (originally broadcast on Italian television in 2000), a documentary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrailer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLUS: An essay by film critic Christina Newland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e1954 • 108 minutes • Black \u0026amp; White • Monaural • In Italian with English subtitles • 1.37:1 aspect ratio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Blu-Ray Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51382912581910,"sku":"133217","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202662172124921scan.jpg?v=1780452012","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/la-strada-the-criterion-collection-w-booklet","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
