Fellini's La Strada
This is an incredible film, but one of the most incredible things is Fellini's incredible sensitivity for narrative context of the Comedia dell'Arte and all the way on. Filmmaker as the latest European minstrel. There are these wonderful scenes of these characters living this otherworldly lifestyle in a largely pastoral, barely modern Italy. Here and there, in the strange settings we find ourselves watching, you get a view on what's to come in 8 1/2 and La Dolce Vita.
