Beautiful, Tommy. “Nights of Cabiria“ is also one of my favorite films and definitely my favorite of Fellini‘s. The clown/saint/brokenhearted whore that Messina creates is one of the greatest characters in filmic history. Thanks for writing this, my man..

Your ability to describe things, Tommy, is both breathtaking and memorable. I really love this: "The last scene of Nights of Cabiria is a two-minute miracle. By the end of the second act Cabiria’s been through the ringer. Let down by man, God and fate, she is soaked through with shame and hard luck, doomed to live a loveless life on the margins."
