THE NIGHTS OF CABIRIA Movie Clip - The Mascara Tear

Taking inspiration from Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning drama, filmmaker Sean Baker beautifully replicates the Italian director’s use of the single tear - an emotional, watershed moment signifying resilience and hope. Lead Giulietta Masina won Best Actress at the 1957 Cannes Film Festival while Baker’s Anora continues to garner great acclaim.

Cabiria is an optimistic, romantic, poor young woman who lives off unscrupulous men. On one particularly despairing day, she goes to church to pray. She begs God for a miracle to change her life. Not long after this, she meets a seemingly earnest young man who is willing to marry her. She is at the height of happiness and she believes she has been saved breaking from her lurid past. She takes all of her savings to follow him, but he vanishes with her money...

"Through [Masina's] unforgettable performance, Cabiria will endure as long as anyone cares to watch transcendence projected on a screen." - Los Angeles Times
