a review of 大路

1st Annual Criterion Challenge Week 48: Directed by Federico Fellini I was prepared for this movie to end on a sad note from the very first scene, but not for its climax to take such a noir-esque turn as it did. A more conventional movie might dwell on what happens in the aftermath of such an act; This one focuses on the prelude, and all of the times that Quinn's character chooses cruelty over kindness, until it finally overcomes him.
