Director: Federico Fellini
1957
I thought this movie about a prostitute was one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. Roger Ebert calls Cabiria hopeful, but I think it’s about making the same mistakes and being unable to change. There's a scene where she prays to the Virgin to let her change her life, but once she leaves the church, there is no miracle for her, or for the lame uncle. And at the end of the movie, she's lost her house and her life savings, by trusting the wrong man, yet again.
