Description

La Dolce Vita is a 1960 comedy drama movie directed by Federico Fellini.

Winner of the Palme D'Or at Cannes and setting the standard for world cinema in 1960, Italian maestro Federico Fellini (La Strada, 8 1/2) dramatically opened the eyes of cinema goers and critics alike with this searing critique of a celebrity-obsessed, hedonistic world as seen through the eyes of a fluff-peddling journalist. Marcello Rubini (Marcello Mastroianni) is a gossip columnist and would-be novelist who chronicles “the sweet life'' of fading aristocrats, second-rate movie stars and aging playboys in high society Rome in the 50s. Armed with his "paparazzi”, the philandering Marcello ultimately succumbs to loneliness and tragedy as he flees his obsessive, suicidal fiancee while vainly vying for the affections of a vivacious screen goddess (Anita Ekberg). Showcasing the sexy and truly audacious romp in the famed Trevi Fountain in glistening high definition black and white, as well as including a treasure trove of special features, La Dolce Vita remains a milestone of European cinema.

La Dolce Vita Movie Reviews

“A brilliantly graphic estimation of a whole swath of society in sad decay and, eventually, a withering commentary upon the tragedy of the overcivilized. (Review of Original Release)” The New York Times

“The movie is made with boundless energy. Fellini stood here at the dividing point between the neorealism of his earlier films (like "La Strada”) and the carnival visuals of his extravagant later ones (“Juliet of the Spirits,” “Amarcord'').” Chicago Sun-Times

“A brilliantly conceived epic fable.” Los Angeles Times

“The performances are uniformly excellent. Mastroianni is perfect in the key role of the basically good and honest boy who succumbs to the sweet life. Ekberg is a revelation as the visiting star, while Furneaux almost runs off with the picture as the reporter's in­stinctive, possessive mistress” Variety
