Finally a Fellini film I really enjoyed rather than just getting through it.

I saw this before La Strada and I still prefer this to La Strada. Giulietta Masina beautifully and charmingly plays a close female version of Charlie Chaplin's tramp. I must admit that it was Giulietta that won me over. She was a fantastic actress and by the end of the movie I wanted to cradle Cabiria in my arms. I don't think there has ever been another character that I've felt that much care and concern for.

Brilliant film - highly compassionate and engrossing. Giuletta Masina's performance is heartbreaking, and the ending is just beautiful.
