Federico Fellini transformed Italian cinema with his surreal, deeply personal visions, blending neorealist roots with increasingly dreamlike, carnivalesque imagery. In Nights of Cabiria (1957): A perpetually hopeful Roman prostitute keeps searching for genuine love despite repeated betrayal. Just as strong is La Strada (1954): A brutish traveling strongman’s naive assistant slowly reveals the depth of his own cruelty and isolation.
