Oscarwatch Podcast

Join Alex and Steve on their adventure down The Road - Fellini's La Strada, which was actually released in 1954, but which won Best Foreign Language Film in 1956. The guys bring it back to film school for a lovely discussion on the Italian Neorealist movement of the Post-War era and how Fellini is slowly starting to break away from that, the simple grace of the film's main actress and the bizarre way Fellini used to shoot his movies. Steve wrestles with his emotions and much like any character on the road, comes out different when all is said and done. Oh, and we figure out just how much 10,000 Lira is in today's dollars (hint: it's not a lot!) Thanks for listening.
