Got mine in the mail yesterday. It's lovely in presentation, of course. I haven't watched the movie yet (and I've never seen it!).

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

i just watched it.  goddamn, i didnt think Giulietta Masina could have a worse time than she did in Nights Of Cabiria, but she does here.  for anyone else watching this for the first time, DONT WATCH the scorsese introduction first, it contains a heavy SPOILER!
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Oh, lord... Nights of Cabiria is devastating. I'll be sure to have my Kleenex handy for La Strada.
