Giulietta Masina brought a wide-eyed, clownish vulnerability to Italian neorealism, and her collaborations with husband Federico Fellini produced some of the most beloved performances in the genre. In Nights of Cabiria (1957): A perpetually hopeful Roman prostitute keeps searching for genuine love despite repeated betrayal. Also notable is La Strada (1954): A brutish traveling strongman’s naive assistant slowly reveals the depth of his own cruelty and isolation.
