La strada (1954)
I don't get it.

Everyone raves about what a great film this is, but I don't get it at all. A woman travels throughout Italy with a strong man. He yells at her & whips her. For some unknown reason, she falls in love with him. This is weird. Most reviews I have read say this film is great at portraying "The Human Condition." My condition is nothing like this movie. My life is not weird.
A lot of stuff happens that I don't understand. When Zampato and Geslina are in the café with the redhead, Geslina gets weird expressions on her face. I'm not sure what she is supposed to be feeling.
I have trouble understanding all "art" movies. I didn't get "Ordinary People" or "Zorba the Greek." At least this movie wasn't as weird as "Zorba the Greek."
