An average movie

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. Anyway, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this feature but since it was directed by the great Federico Fellini, I was quite eager to check it out. Unfortunately, I’m afraid it turned out to be one of his movies I enjoyed the least among the ones I have seen so far. Basically, pretty much like ‘Amarcord’ which would be the following directing effort delivered by this director, there was no plot whatsoever and instead he gave us some quirky characters involved in some (really random) situations. In fact, I was just re-watching the trailer for this movie and what you get to see in these 2 minutes exactly summed up how the whole thing was, very non-linear and very random, and I thought it was rather exhausting after 2 hours. At least, it made Roma looked like a very attractive city but I didn’t get much else from this rather experimental feature which is usually considered as a rather minor effort in Fellini’s filmography. To conclude, even though it was slightly underwhelming, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Federico Fellini’s work.
