Stromboli (film) -divested of the trappings of self...

My God; My God?!

-In an expansive analysis of the film, critic Fred Camper wrote of the drama..

"Like many of cinema's masterpieces, Stromboli is fully explained only in a final scene that brings into harmony the protagonist's state of mind and the imagery.

-This structure...suggests a belief in the transformative power of revelation..

-Forced to drop her suitcase (itself far more modest than the trunks she arrived with) as she ascends the volcano

...Karin is stripped of her pride and reduced — or elevated — to the condition of a crying child, a kind of first human being who, divested of the trappings of self, must learn to see and speak again from a personal "year zero" (to borrow from another Rossellini film title)."[3]
