It is one of the least appreciated movies directed by Fellini. I think it is actually quite underrated and I really liked it. It is pretty similar to '8 1/2' but obsviously not as good but the whole thing is still very interesting and entertaining.

After unsuccessfully seducing a woman on a train, he follows her to a hotel in the middle of a forest where a feminist convention is taking place. From that point on, Snaporaz finds himself in one compromising adventure after another. He is tormented by women on roller skates, accosted by a nymphomaniac, and chased by drugged up teenagers. He eventually seeks refuge in the castle-like fortress of Dr. Uberkock, who is having a party in celebration of his 10,000th sexual conquest.... (more)(less)

"Pätkä esittää seksuaalisuuden sekä feminismin ja sovinismin tutkiskelua erittäin mielenkiintoisesti fantasioiden. Sisältää monta todella hämärää, mutta samalla hervotonta kohtausta. Lavasteet ja värit suurimmaksi osaksi loistavia, varsinkin Mastroiannin roolihahmon Snaporazin unenomaisessa seksuaalihistorian esittelyssä. Suuresti kyllä ihailen Fellinin taitoa saada näyttelijät toimimaan näyttävästi ja uskottavasti kohtauksissa, joiden motiiveja ja taka-ajatuksia voi olla var"
