just finished watching la strada. i thought it was a great film, a sort of morose and symbolic morality play, starring a fabulously mousey and chaplinesque lead woman. it says alot of interesting things about our desire to control or be controlled, and where compassion and joy stands in relation to power and brute force. on monday i will buy 8 1/2, so i'll tell you what i think this week.
