StudioCanal have announced that they will release on Blu-ray Federico Fellini's film La Strada (1954), starring Anthony Quinn, Giulietta Masina, Richard Basehart, and Aldo Silvani. The release will be available for purchase on June 5.

La Strada, which was recently restored in 2K, will return to UK cinemas on May 19. Included below are the official theatrical trailer and poster for the new restoration.

Supplemental features to be included on the upcoming Blu-ray release have not yet been announced.

Synopsis: In a story of true outsiders, Masina plays Gelsomina, a naïve young woman sold by her desperate mother to boorish strongman Zampanò (an immensely charismatic Anthony Quinn) to be both his wife and performance assistant as he tours central Italy. Zampanò - a brute by trade and by nature - repeatedly abuses Gelsomina as she struggles to learn the ropes; meanwhile, she finds a kindred spirit in his rival the Fool (Richard Basehart). Soon all three find themselves part of the same travelling circus, but with tragic consequences.
