There was a time when I started to discover the great classics and, of course, at some point, I got intrigued by Federico Fellini. From all his movies, the one I loved the most was by far ‘La strada’ but, to be honest, I had a rather hard time to really connect with such huge classics like ‘La dolce vita’ and ‘8½’ (I’m actually planning to re-watch at least ‘La dolce vita’ in the near future though since I have it on DVD). However, later on, I have also watched this flick as well and even though it is probably one of the least appreciated movies directed by this director, I thought it was actually pretty good. I have to admit it, the whole thing was maybe too similar to '8 1/2' and it is probably why it was dismissed but I thought there was something quite mesmerizing about the damned thing (something I actually didn’t really feel with ‘8 1/2' to be honest). I don’t know, the fact that it was only focusing on his obsession about women seemed to work better for me somehow. Anyway, to conclude, I think this movie is actually quite underrated, I really liked it and it think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Federico Fellini’s work.
