Next to McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Nights of Cabiria Is my favorite film. The last twenty minutes breaks my heart and, yet, there is a glimmer of hope that shines brilliantly–the human spirit. Fellini captures this with the collaboration of his wife’s iconic performance. Fantastic. Brilliant director.
Nights of Cabiria is truly a great film and yes, those last 20 minutes are poignant even though we get a subtle hint that everything will be okay. I also agree that Fellini really did know how to cast his wife Giulietta Masina. I am glad to see someone else, who loves McCabe & Mrs. Miller as much as I do. That one is my second favorite Robert Altman film after Nashville and I would totally rank it in my favorite films in the numbers 11-20 category. Speaking of Altman, I have a blog post regarding my favorite Altman films that I did a few months back. Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
I will definitely check the Altman post out. I must confess, though I obviously love McCabe & Mrs. Miller, (I’ve got a post on that one too, by the way) Altman is not one of my favorite directors. (Yeah, strange. I know.) But it’s kind of like not liking coffee–you know it’s good and you’re not denying it but you just don’t like it.
