Nights of Cabiria

World and International Narrative Cinema

Nights of Cabiria is a 1957 Italian and French tragicomedy directed by Federico Fellini, starring his wife Giulietta Masina as Cabiria Ceccarelli, a good-hearted sex worker in Rome repeatedly betrayed by the men she trusts. The film traces her resilience through a series of disappointments toward an ending that affirms her capacity for hope. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1958, Italy's second consecutive win in the category, and Masina's performance is widely regarded as one of the finest in film history.
