Description
"A truly literate and sophisticated film spectacle...by perhaps the greatest of all film artists" (Saturday Review), this Oscar(r)-nominated* masterpiece by Federico Fellini, the director of such world-renowned classics, as La Dolce Vita, La Strada and 8 1/2, isa "fabulous trip into a totally decadent civilization" (Playboy) delivering "a brilliant visual fantasy...unlike anything we have seen" (The Hollywood Reporter). Step into the bawdy, erotic and titillating world of Rome during the days of Emperor Nero, where two competing teachers play tricks on each other while vying for the same lover's charms. Paralleling the self-indulgence of modern society, these Roman citizens pursue their own gratification above all else, resulting in both intense pleasure and enormous despair displayed in visually seductive scenes that are shocking, unprecedented and brilliantly stunning. *1970: Director

Trippy is as trippy does, even when you're talking about a movie set in ancient Rome. This 1969 Fellini opus was among the most visually arresting entries in a year when the psychedelic experience was trying to claw its way into every movie coming down the pike. But Fellini, in telling a negligible story about two young men tasting the various pleasures of Nero's hedonistic and priapic reign, aimed for images that jarred as well as seduced. He found humor in freakishness, contrasting beauty and ugliness while effortlessly passing judgment on the emptiness of a life devoted to sensation and personal freedom. More of a fever dream than a linear story, Fellini Satyricon crystallized the director's reputation as a visionary--but may have trapped him into spending the rest of his career (with the exception of Amarcord) trying to top himself in reaching new levels of outrageousness. --Marshall Fine
