Only 5 topics on a Fellini Film?


Boy has film fandom gone downhill... 😞

It's one of his more obscure films, maybe that's why. But I don't think it's one of his better ones. Same as most of other films with an episodic narrative structure, some parts were interesting, while others fell flat, predominantly the middle 50 minutes, which are bereft of entertainment except for the party scene. However, the rest of the movie is fun and believable enough, with great performances, pretty cinematography and an unexpected ending. Overall, it is good but lacking in certain aspects.

Weird indeed. I think this is a great film and very underrated, it's very compelling and highly dynamic emotion wise, spotless directing from Fellini. Also, Otello Marteli in his prime, a feast for the eyes for sure too.

Agreed. Five years after this post FF was trending here and I hoped people would chime in on the simple topic of what is his best film? I think we got as far as 8 1/2 and La Strada, then his photo went away.
