... View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreThere is no real plot throughout the movie. We follow Marcello Mastroianni as he wanders from place to place in a magnificent yet decadent Rome, spoiled by civilization excess. Paparazzis are also present throughout the movie, and reflect on the the way the media exaggerate the reality and dignify otherwise pointless events.
... View MoreLA DOLCE VITA is a comedy drama, which, in a surreal and grotesque way, shows a tragicomic deterioration of high society in Rome.The main protagonist is a journalist who wants to become a writer. He writes trivial stories about carousing in high society for a tabloid. His job is to attend each party or important event. However, actresses, artists, starlets and easy life are very appealing to the journalist who, in that frenzy, is trying to find a meaning, love and happiness...Mr. Fellini has, through sharp contrasts and contradictions, showed senselessness of life. That apparent freedom, which includes hedonistic behavior, prostitution and promiscuity is actually a vaguely wandering without a purpose. The protagonists have, in a strange way, Alienated themselves from reality. They enjoy the "sweet life", but they do not understand it.Mr. Fellini, in an ironic way, shows, through unusual incidents, all the superficiality of one layer of society. However, he is not making fun of a frustrated, unfulfilled and unhappy group of people. He has actually replaced dignity with sensationalism. It is a sad view of decadence of one man and his environment. Fellini's world is really crazy, no less crazy than ours, but it is empty. An irregular mosaic structure was arranged in a meaningful and sad whole.The protagonists are lost and do not understand each other.Marcello Rubini (Marcello Mastroianni) is simply brilliant as a journalist, who goes through crazy experiences, while examines important questions of life. Emma (Yvonne Furneau) as his fiancée is, perhaps a true hero in this story, regardless of the pretty powerful bourgeois tone in her character. Steiner (Alain Cuny) is an artist, writer, poet and musician. He is everything that Marcello wants to be. However, Steiner was, despite the wonderful family, tired of life.Anita Ekberg as Sylvia is a big movie star. Marcello is, from the first moment, in love with her. She is a singing and dancing lady, who slowly, like a dream at dawn, escapes from him. Walter Santesso as Paparazzo is "it" in the true sense of that word.The logic is definitely a little "moved" in this film. However, the point is crystal clear.
... View MoreWhen I watch this film, all I focus on is Marcello's character. Obviously, everything revolves around him and comes into his person. The sweet life is a paradox because the only sweetness is in the wealth and over indulgence of the characters. For these people, the sweet life is moving through life without purpose or accomplishment. Their lives are designed to impress others, but the others aren't worth impressing. So Marcello sits back and observes. He participates but is never happy. He indulges but gets no enjoyment. He is faced with his own mortality and dies a little each day. He wakes up the next day without a connection to real life. Anyway, that's a little speech and it may completely miss the mark because Fellini is so complex and such a master of the crazy world he presents, I could be all wet. Thank God for films like this because they make us think and rethink.
... View MoreChronicles a week in the life of philandering journalist Rubini, who devotes his entire existence to hedonistic pleasure.Federico Fellini offers a wonderful dream like film with stunning visuals, it may not be appreciated by the general film buff or the modern movie goer. Its structure is unorthodox, however, it was and still is highly influential. Of course the main reason to watch this is for the famous scene - where Sylvia (Anita Eckberg) gets wet in the Trevi fountain. La Dolce Vita also coined the word 'paparazzi' and a film can rarely can boast such a lasting impact on the world.
