Federico Fellinis chic
Italian masterpiece reaches across celluloid boundaries to spin the tale
of Marcello Rubini, a playboy journalist who lives for nothing but sex and
partying in Rome, a city "full of lies, decorations and subterfuge."
Trapped in the emptiness and pure decadence of his surroundings, Marcello
is constantly searching for fulfilment until a gorgeous Hollywood starlet
(played by Anita Ekberg) comes to town and he becomes totally enamoured
with her. Fellinis film is also prophetic in that it basically heralded
societal hedonism of the decades to come. |
