Gelsomina, an apparently dreamy young woman, played by Giulietta Masina, learns that her sister Rosa has died after going on the road with the strongman Zampanò played by Anthony Quinn. Now the man has returned a year later to ask her mother if Gelsomina will take Rosa’s place. The impoverished mother, with other mouths to feed, accepts 10,000 lire, and her daughter tearfully departs the same day…
5 star review from The Guardian
Well reviewed by Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB and Roger Ebert. Has been described by many as Fellini’s best work.
