Nights of Cabiria

“Cabiria is a working girl. Not a sentimentalized one...but a tough cookie who climbs into truck cabs, gets in fights and hides in the bushes during police raids...She is a woman seeking redemption, a woman who works as a sinner but seeks inner spirituality..."Nights of Cabiria" is transitional; it points toward the visual freedom of "La Dolce Vita" while still remaining attentive to the real world of postwar Rome.”
