StudioCanal will bring to Blu-ray Federico Fellini's film Nights of Cabiria (1957), starring François Périer, Giulietta Masina, and Franca Marzi. Currently, the release is set to arrive on the market on April 20.
Synopsis: Co-written by Fellini, with contributions from Pier Paolo Pasolini NIGHTS OF CABIRIA (1957) again stars Giulietta Masina in this story of an unfailingly optimistic prostitute and her misadventures in and around the Eternal City. Cabiria wanders the streets of Rome looking for true love but finds only heartbreak. Even when she is robbed by her boyfriend and left to drown, after her rescue she carries on searching for happiness. She meets and is courted by Oscar and it seems that her struggles are finally over, but things may not be what they seem. This Oscar-winning, funny and poignant neo-realism masterpiece was the inspiration for Neil Simon's 1966 musical Sweet Charity, which itself was adapted for the screen by Bob Fosse three years later.

The previously revealed new 4K restoration of Fellini's film The White Sheik will also make its Blu-ray debut on April 6.
Synopsis: Fellini's debut as a solo director was the joyful romantic comedy THE WHITE SHEIK (1952), co-written by Fellini from a story he collaborated on with Michelangelo Antonioni, it starred veteran actor Alberto Sordi alongside Fellini's wife and muse Giulietta Masina. Flowing between real life and fantasy THE WHITE SHEIK tells the story of a newlywed couple's honeymoon that turns into disaster when the virginal bride runs away in search of the eponymous dashing hero of a photo-strip cartoon, who fulfils her naïve romantic ideals. Her distraught husband proves not to be immune from temptation himself when he encounters a prostitute during the search for his wife.
