La Strada ***
This is an Italian movie directed by Felini. Excellent portrayal of complex human relationships. The movie starts off being silly and boring, but slowly the complexity builds up and the by the end, it is just mind blowing. What sustains certain relationships, when it is clearly parasitic? Or is it symbiotic, rather than parasitic? The lengths to which people go in a hopeless direction and the tragedy behind it all - beautifully summed up by this movie.
