In reply to Colin. No, I haven't yet, but it's on my (evergrowing) list of ones to catch up on. I think I'll be taking Fellini slowly, though. Seems his films should be appraoched like an expensive bottle of wine - savored, with relish, and not often.

Another great review, Rodney! I don't think I could love Federico Fellini's work more and this is definitely a film that needs multiple viewings. Have you seen "8 1/2" by chance?

In reply to 70srichard. This is the kind of film where I feel utterly inadequate as both a film lover and a blogger - I lack the intellectual ability to grasp the more subtextual elements of the film, and I lack the skill with English to give voice to why I did or did not "get" it. Good luck with your watching of this one, Richard!

In reply to geelw. Thanks geelw, I'll most definitely be checking out other Fellini films in the future, and I'll take your recommendations under advisement! Thanks for popping in!

I'm in the same situation, familiar with the reputation but bereft of the experience. You did a nice job summarizing your reaction to the film. I'm more encouraged now to make an effort.

Very solid impressions, sir! This IS a film you can't watch once, so give it a few more viewings and things will click into place (well, the things that matter). I'll recommend Nights of Cabiria or La Strada next as they're more narrative and character driven and star the wonderful Giulietta Masina in two of her best roles. I think you'll like them a lot.
