If you loved La Strada, try Roma
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Roma has roughly 3.2× fewer votes than La Strada — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Federico Fellini, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Strada, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Roma is
The film turns Rome into Fellini’s carnival mirror, reflecting nostalgia and absurdity through a famous citizen’s wandering gaze. A loose accumulation of vignettes follows him through the city’s neon and shadows. It’s less a story than an overstuffed daydream you forget upon waking.
