Movie Review by Jessica Film Junkie
March 24th, 2007

Classic

There is nothing like a Fellini film, many try but they just cannot come close; and this is the pinnacle of Fellini's excellence. A gorgeous film about embracing life while we still can.

A series of moments define the life of Marcello, a womanizing journalist, yet each somehow leads to the next in a disconnected and thematic way. Marcello is simultaneously having the time of his life and losing everything he stands for.

That is the sweet life, that is what happens to man without his convictions.

Fellini was famous for his playboys and preference for do dialogue in ADR, but somehow it works here.

It is hardly a feminist film, but it explores sex from a man's perspective, the pettiness of the male ego and the exoticizing of foreign women.

This is one of those films we all have to experience as it makes us re-evaluate our lives and the purpose of it all.
